Four-socket Xeon server for heavy compute

This 4U rackmount system ships with four Intel Xeon E7-4850 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz base and 2.8 GHz turbo, each providing 16 cores for a total of 64 threads. It includes 2 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 64 DIMM modules. The platform targets enterprises running virtualization, large databases or high-performance computing workloads that demand maximum thread count and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Platinum redundant power and hot-swap cooling

Four 1620 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies deliver full N+1 redundancy, keeping the system running if one unit fails. The 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays support hot-plug SAS and SATA drives without powering down. IPMI 2.0 with a dedicated RJ45 port provides KVM-over-LAN and virtual media for remote monitoring and control, reducing the need for physical access during routine management.

24-bay storage density with eight-port RAID

The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller offers eight 12 Gb/s SAS ports with 1 GB cached battery-backed write-back, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 24 bays. Dual 10 GbE RJ45 ports on the Intel X540 adapter handle high-throughput network traffic. Eleven PCIe 3.0 slots remain available for additional NICs, HBAs or accelerators. Front bezel and rack rails are not included, so plan for separate mounting hardware.

Questions about this item

How do I install the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller and what step is often missed?

The MegaRAID 9361-8i installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. The step often missed is connecting the battery backup unit to the controller for cache protection during power loss.

What maintenance will the 1620 Watt power supplies need over time?

The four 1620 Watt Platinum hot-swap power supplies may need fan replacement or full unit swap after several years of continuous operation.

Which limit appears first when all 64 Xeon cores run sustained 2.8 GHz turbo?

The 1620 Watt power supply capacity per module becomes the limiting factor before thermal throttling occurs on the quad-socket platform.
