4U quad-socket server for dense storage workloads

This Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT fits 24 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays and four Xeon E7-4850 v2 processors into a 4U rack footprint. It targets environments that need large local capacity and many cores for database, virtualisation or analytics clusters.

Four 1620 W platinum supplies share the load

Redundant hot-swap power modules distribute demand across all four units, keeping each supply in an efficient range. IPMI 2.0 exposes sensor data and fan curves so administrators can monitor thermals and acoustic behaviour remotely without a local console.

MegaRAID 9361-8i and 10 GbE ports expand I/O options

The eight-port SAS 12 Gb/s controller with 1 GB cache battery backs write-heavy RAID levels from 0 through 60. Dual RJ45 10GBase-T ports from the Intel X540 adapter provide high-speed fabric connectivity without extra cards.

Questions about this item

How are the four Xeon E7-4850 v2 processors installed in the LGA 2011 sockets, and which step do builders often miss?

Align each processor with the socket keying, lower the load plate, and engage the retention lever; the step often missed is applying thermal interface material before seating the heatsink on every CPU.

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

The four 1620 Watt Platinum power supplies and the system cooling fans are the primary field-replaceable units that wear over time; the MegaRAID 9361-8i battery-backed cache module also requires periodic battery replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when all four 12-core Xeon processors run sustained workloads?

The 1620 Watt redundant power supply rating and the 4U chassis cooling capacity define the thermal envelope; sustained full-load operation across all 48 cores will hit the power budget before any single processor throttles.
