Quad-socket Xeon server for compute and storage

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount system with four Intel Xeon E7-4850 v2 processors running at 2.3 GHz. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 48 cores. It ships with 1 TB of DDR3 1600 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 modules. This configuration targets enterprises that need dense processing and large memory capacity in a single chassis.

Hot-swap trays and rails need attention

The chassis includes 24 front-accessible 3.5" hot-swap drive trays for SATA or SAS drives. Drives are not included, so buyers must source compatible disks. Rack mount rails and the front bezel are not included and must be purchased separately. The MegaRAID 9361-8i controller offers eight SAS 12 Gb/s ports with 1 GB cache and battery backup, limiting internal RAID connectivity to eight drives without an expander.

PCIe 3.0 slots and 10GBase-T define I/O limits

The system provides 11 PCIe 3.0 expansion slots in a mix of x16 and x8 electrical widths. Network connectivity uses an Intel X540 dual-port 10GBase-T adapter. Remote management relies on IPMI 2.0 with a dedicated RJ45 port for KVM-over-LAN and virtual media. Four 1620 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the four Xeon E7-4850 v2 processors and 1 TB DDR3 memory are detected after power-on?

During POST the BIOS will list four CPUs at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each and show 1 TB of registered ECC DDR3 1600 MHz memory; IPMI 2.0 also reports CPU and memory status remotely.

Which drive trays and rails are included, and what must I source separately?

The chassis ships with 24 Supermicro 3.5" SAS/SATA hot-plug trays; front bezel and rack-mount rails are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the MegaRAID 9361-8i or add another controller for the 24 bays?

The installed 9361-8i provides eight 12 Gb/s SAS ports supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; for 24 drives you will need an additional SAS controller or expander.
