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 Xeon E5-2690 v4 14-core processors at 2.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. Thirty-six hot-swap 3.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS drives for massive capacity scaling.

Upgrade From Smaller Arrays

This platform replaces 2U or tower servers that max out at 12 or 24 bays when a single chassis must hold 36 drives. The jump is worth it when archiving, backup or media workloads demand raw bay count over CPU density. The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight internal ports.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Dual 1280 W Platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap design keep the system online during drive rebuilds or controller battery maintenance. Four 10GBase-T ports from the Intel X540 controller sustain high-throughput transfers without saturating a single link. IPMI 2.0 with dedicated LAN provides remote KVM and virtual media access for lights-out management.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is included with the 4U chassis?

The front bezel and rack-mount rails are not included with the chassis.

How are the dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors and the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller installed, and what step is often missed?

The two processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets. The RAID controller occupies a PCIe slot; the battery-backup module for its 1 GB cache must be connected, which is the step most often missed.

Which components will need replacement first in a 24/7 deployment?

The two 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies and the cooling fans are the primary field-replaceable units; the RAID controller battery-backup module will also require periodic replacement.
