Supermicro SYS-6029U-E1CR4T rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 256GB DDR4 12x 3.5" bays

Dual Xeon 12-core server for virtualization

The Supermicro SYS-6029U-E1CR4T is a 2U rackmount system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3GHz with 12 cores and a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. The platform targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, hyper-converged storage or cloud workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a dense chassis. Buyers who need GPU compute density or single-thread frequency above 3.2GHz should look elsewhere.

Titanium 1000W redundant power and hot-swap cooling

Two 1000W Titanium-efficiency power supplies operate in redundant hot-swap mode, keeping the system running if one unit fails. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays support hot-plug SATA and SAS drives, allowing storage changes without downtime. The 2U form factor houses the dual-socket board and expansion cards while relying on front-to-rear airflow; acoustic output will reflect the high-density component count and dual-CPU thermal design. No fan diameters or decibel figures are provided by the supplier.

MegaRAID 9361-8i, X710 10GbE and IPMI 2.0

An LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1GB cache and battery backup enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight SAS 12Gb/s ports. Networking is handled by an Intel X710-based add-in card delivering four 10GBase-T ports. A dedicated RJ45 management port provides IPMI 2.0 with virtual media and KVM-over-LAN for remote administration. Front bezel and rack-mount rails are not included; plan for separate procurement if your rack requires them.
