Quad-socket Xeon server with 24 hot-swap bays

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-4820 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 modules. A MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages the 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drive trays. Redundant 1620 W platinum power supplies and IPMI 2.0 with dedicated LAN complete the package.

Suits storage-heavy workloads needing four-socket

This system targets buyers who want high core counts and massive internal drive capacity in a single 4U chassis. The four-socket design and 24-bay backplane fit database, virtualisation or archival tasks that benefit from local SAS/SATA arrays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 2.0 GHz should look elsewhere. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of installed SSDs also rule out visual-compute or all-flash deployments.

Four Xeon E7-4820 v4 processors fixed at 2.0 GHz

The CPU configuration is the decisive spec: four 10-core chips locked to a 2.0 GHz base clock with no turbo capability. This sets a hard ceiling on per-thread performance while delivering 40 total cores for heavily threaded jobs. If the workload demands higher clock speeds or turbo boost, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

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

Seat the 9361-8i in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, connect the two internal SAS cables to the backplane, then install the battery backup module on the controller; the step most often missed is plugging the battery into the controller before closing the chassis.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The four 1620 W Platinum power supplies and the 9361-8i battery backup unit are the primary field-replaceable items; fan modules and the 24 hot-swap drive trays are also designed for tool-less replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when all four Xeon E7-4820 v4 CPUs run at 2.0 GHz continuously?

The 1620 W per supply rating and the 4U chassis airflow set the practical ceiling; sustained full-load operation across all 40 cores will hit the power budget before the cooling capacity is exceeded.
