Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 24-core server

The Supermicro SYS-6029U-E1CR4T is a 2U rackmount system built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It targets organisations running virtualisation, hyper-converged storage or cloud workloads that demand high thread counts and large memory capacity.

512 GB DDR4 ECC and MegaRAID 9361-8i

Sixteen 32 GB DDR4-2666 registered ECC modules provide 512 GB of error-correcting memory out of the box. The included LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller adds eight SAS 12 Gb/s ports with 1 GB cache and a battery backup unit, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays and 4 x 10GBase-T

The chassis holds twelve SATA or SAS drives, with four hybrid bays ready for NVMe SSDs when a compatible add-on card is installed. Networking is handled by an Intel X710 adapter delivering four 10GBase-T ports, while a dedicated IPMI 2.0 port provides remote KVM and virtual media. Dual 1000 W titanium power supplies supply redundant power for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

What is the capacity and chemistry of the battery-backed cache on the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller?

The MegaRAID 9361-8i includes 1GB of cache memory protected by a battery backup unit to preserve data during power loss.

What is the maximum thermal design power per processor that the cooling system can handle in this 2U chassis?

The system supports Intel Xeon Scalable processors with a TDP of up to 205W each within the 2U form factor.

How loud are the cooling fans when both 1000W titanium power supplies and dual 24-core CPUs run continuously?

Dual 1000W titanium efficiency power supplies reduce waste heat, while the 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap fans managed by IPMI 2.0 for thermal control.
