Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N 36-bay 4U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2690 v4 2.6GHz 14-core 512GB DDR4

36-bay 4U storage server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built for high-density storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores. The unit includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. It targets organisations that need massive drive capacity in a single chassis.

Twelve-gigabit SAS controller limits

The installed LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal ports running at 12 Gb/s per port. This means the controller can directly address only eight drives without additional expander hardware. The remaining 28 bays rely on the chassis backplane to multiplex connectivity through those eight lanes. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported, but total throughput is bounded by the eight-port interface.

Dual 1280-watt platinum power supplies

Redundant 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum units supply power to the fully populated chassis. Both modules are hot-swappable and share the load, so a single failure does not interrupt operation. Buyers who need lower power draw or a smaller power budget should verify their actual configuration against the rated output. No rails or front bezel are included.
