Dense 36-bay storage server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built for high-capacity storage workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays.

Suits archive and throughput workloads

This server fits teams that need massive drive density and hardware RAID in a single 4U chassis. Quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 with dedicated management LAN simplify network integration and remote administration. Redundant 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies maintain uptime during component failure. Buyers who need more than 36 drive bays, GPU acceleration or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms.

36 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays

The defining specification is the 36-bay capacity split between front and rear trays, all supporting SAS3 and SATA3 drives without installed media. This density decides whether the chassis matches the storage scale you are planning.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit do I need to mount this 4U server?

The chassis is 4U tall; front bezel and rack-mount rails are not included, so you must supply rails rated for a 4U enclosure.

Can the LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manage all 36 drive bays at once?

The 9361-8i provides eight SAS 12 Gb/s ports; the remaining bays connect through the backplane expander, so the single controller manages the full 36-bay set.

How do I confirm the IPMI 2.0 interface is reachable after power-on?

Connect the dedicated RJ45 IPMI port, then browse to the BMC address shown on the front LCD or your DHCP server to verify KVM-over-LAN and virtual media access.
