Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-4820 v2 2.0GHz 1.5TB DDR3 24x 3.5" bays

Quad-socket Xeon server with massive memory

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount system populated with four Intel Xeon E7-4820 v2 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 1.5 TB of DDR3 1600 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 96 DIMM slots. The platform targets enterprises that run large in-memory databases, virtualization clusters or high-performance computing workloads where core count and memory capacity are the primary constraints.

Suited for dense storage and remote management

This chassis provides 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays for SATA or SAS drives, backed by an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 10GBase-T ports and a dedicated IPMI 2.0 LAN port with KVM-over-LAN give administrators full out-of-band control. Buyers who need more than eight PCIe 3.0 expansion slots or integrated GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Decision factor: 1.5 TB DDR3 in a 24-bay 4U form

The combination of 1.5 TB pre-installed DDR3 ECC memory and 24 hot-swap drive bays in a single 4U enclosure determines whether this system matches the workload. Four 1620 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant power for the fully populated configuration. If the application demands more memory capacity than 1.5 TB or a different drive bay count, this specific model will not fit.
