Quad-socket Xeon server for compute

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount system built around four Intel Xeon E7-4850 v4 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.1 GHz and boosting to 2.8 GHz. It targets organisations that need high thread counts and large memory capacity in a single chassis for virtualisation, database or analytics workloads.

256 GB DDR4 installed with 96 DIMM slots for growth

The unit ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 32 modules, leaving headroom across 96 total slots. Twenty-four front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SATA or SAS drives, while the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; storage capacity scales with the drives you add.

Four 1620 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap power and a dedicated RJ45 IPMI 2.0 port provide out-of-band KVM-over-LAN and virtual media access. Network connectivity comes from a dual-port Intel X540 10GBase-T adapter, and the Matrox G200 GPU supplies basic 8 MB video output for console use.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.8 GHz turbo frequency on the four E7-4850 v4 CPUs run on my existing DDR4-2400 registered ECC modules?

Yes, the server ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC across 32 slots, matching the processors' supported memory speed.

How can I confirm the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller and the dual 10GBase-T X540 ports are active after installation?

Check the BIOS for the 9361-8i option ROM and verify two 10 GbE links in the IPMI 2.0 interface or OS network settings.

The listing mentions 24 drive trays but no drives — what else is missing from the box?

Front bezel and rack-mount rails are not included; you must supply 3.5" SAS or SATA drives and any additional PCIe cards.
