High-density 36-bay storage server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built for capacity-first deployments. Dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors provide 36 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo for parallel workloads. 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory supports large working sets. The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages the 36 hot-swap 3.5" drive bays.

36 drive bays with hardware RAID headroom

Thirty-six 3.5" SATA/SAS trays deliver massive raw capacity for archival, backup or media repositories. The 9361-8i eight-port 12 Gb/s RAID controller with 1 GB cached battery-backed memory sustains RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across the array. Eight native SAS lanes limit simultaneous device throughput, so very wide striping or heavy random I/O on all 36 bays will saturate the controller before the drives.

Twelve-gigabit SAS and ten-gigabit Ethernet ceilings

The SAS 12 Gb/s interface caps per-lane bandwidth, and the eight-port HBA cannot address all 36 bays concurrently without expander overhead. Quad 10GBase-T ports from the Intel X540 controller peak at 10 Gb/s per link, bounding network ingest to roughly 40 Gb/s aggregate. IPMI 2.0 provides dedicated out-of-band management over a single RJ45 link.

Questions about this item

Will the 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA or SAS bays accept the same drives I already use in my older 6 Gb/s backplanes?

Yes — the bays are wired for SATA and SAS, so existing 3.5-inch drives with those interfaces will fit and function.

How can I confirm the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller is operating correctly once the server is racked?

The controller exposes its status through the IPMI 2.0 interface; log in via the dedicated RJ45 management port to view RAID health, cache state and drive SMART data.

Which items ship with the chassis and which must be sourced separately?

The system includes two Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory in 16 modules, the 9361-8i RAID card with battery-backed cache, 36 drive trays, quad 10GBase-T X540 ports, IPMI 2.0 and dual 1280 W power supplies; front bezel and rack-mount rails are not included.
