36-Bay 4U Server for Dense Storage

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis holds 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. An LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages up to 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA and SAS drive bays.

Suits Archives and Backup Workloads

This platform fits teams that need massive raw capacity in a single rack unit. The 36 drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support long-term retention, media libraries and backup targets. Quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN simplify network integration and remote management. Buyers needing GPU compute, all-flash arrays, or higher single-thread frequencies should evaluate alternatives.

36 Hot-Swap 3.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity

The decisive spec is the 36-bay count split between front and rear bays. It sets the maximum number of spinning disks or SAS SSDs the server can address without external enclosures. The installed MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal SAS ports with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Memory scales to 1.5 TB RDIMM or 3 TB LRDIMM across 24 slots if workloads grow.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 4U chassis get with dual 145 W Xeons and two 1280 W PSUs running 24/7?

The 4U form factor houses 36 hot-swap drive bays and dual 145 W processors cooled by high-airflow fans; dual 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum supplies run efficiently, but sustained load will produce noticeable fan noise and exhaust heat typical of dense storage servers.

Which drive trays, cabling and rail kit must I supply to populate the 36 hot-swap bays?

The unit ships with 36 Supermicro 3.5" SAS/SATA trays installed; you must provide your own SAS3/SATA3 drives, SAS cables to the 9361-8i controller, and a compatible rack-mount rail kit because rails and front bezel are not included.

Will the X540 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 management link negotiate down to my existing 1 GbE switches?

Yes, the Intel X540 controller supports 10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX auto-negotiation, and the dedicated RJ45 IPMI 2.0 port operates at standard 10/100/1000 speeds for legacy management networks.
