Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N 4U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 16GB 36-bay

High-density 4U storage server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system built for massive storage capacity with thirty-six 3.5-inch hot-swap bays. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver sixteen cores each at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory is installed across twenty-four DIMM slots. It targets organisations that need dense, redundant capacity for archiving or throughput-heavy workloads.

Eight-port RAID and ten-gigabit networking limits

The included MegaRAID 9361-8i controller provides eight SAS 12 Gb/s ports supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with one gigabyte of cached battery-backed memory. Only eight drives connect directly to the hardware RAID engine; the remaining twenty-eight bays require expander backplanes or additional controllers. Four 10GBase-T ports driven by the Intel X540 controller offer copper ten-gigabit connectivity but do not support SFP+ optical modules.

Redundant platinum power and tool-less drive access

Two 1280 watt 80 Plus Platinum power supplies operate in redundant hot-swap configuration for continuous uptime. Thirty-six tool-less trays allow drive insertion or removal without shutting down the chassis. A dedicated RJ45 management port enables IPMI 2.0 KVM-over-LAN and virtual media functions independent of the data network. Front bezel and rack rails are not included and must be sourced separately.
