Built for Consolidation Workloads

The Supermicro SYS-6029U-E1CR4T is a 2U rackmount server system delivered new with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz, 24 cores each, and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 across twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Dual 1000 W titanium power supplies and IPMI 2.0 with dedicated LAN complete the platform.

Fits Virtualisation and Storage Clusters

This server suits teams deploying hyper-converged infrastructure or dense virtualisation hosts who need high core counts, large memory capacity, and four 10GBase-T ports in a 2U form factor. Buyers requiring GPU compute, NVMe boot drives, or front bezel and rails included should look at other configurations.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Hot-Swap Bays Define Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch SATA/SAS hot-plug bays backed by the 8-port MegaRAID 9361-8i. If your storage plan needs more than twelve large-form-factor drives or requires NVMe without an additional add-in card, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail depth does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and uses full-height expansion slots up to 10.5 inches long, so rails must support that depth.

How are the Xeon Platinum 8160 processors seated, and what step is often missed?

Each CPU drops into an LGA 3647 socket; the common mistake is skipping the torque sequence on the retention mechanism, which prevents full contact.

When will the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller battery need replacement?

The 1 GB cache battery typically lasts three to five years; plan to swap it when the controller logs a battery-learn failure or capacity alert.
