Enterprise 4U server with quad Xeon E7-4890 v2

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server system built for compute-intensive and storage-heavy enterprise workloads. Four Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 processors deliver 60 cores total at 2.8 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. The system includes 3 TB of DDR3 1600 MHz registered ECC memory across 96 DIMM slots.

Suited for multi-socket scaling

This server fits organisations running virtualisation clusters, large databases or HPC tasks that benefit from four sockets and 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, all-flash architectures or single-threaded frequency optimisation should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays define storage

The chassis provides 24 SATA/SAS trays backed by an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and controller combination determines how much raw capacity and redundancy the system can deliver.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I provide for the 4U SYS-8048B-TRFT with its four 1620 W supplies?

Reserve 4U of rack height and four independent circuits rated for the 1620 W platinum supplies; the chassis includes hot-swap redundant power but no rails or bezel.

Can my existing SATA drives populate the 24 hot-swap bays alongside SAS drives on the 9361-8i controller?

Yes, the 24 front bays accept both SATA and SAS 3.5" drives and the MegaRAID 9361-8i supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 across mixed drive types.

How do I confirm the 3 TB DDR3 memory and four Xeon E7-4890 v2 CPUs are recognised after power-on?

Connect to the dedicated IPMI 2.0 RJ45 port, open the KVM-over-LAN console, and watch the POST screen report 96 DIMM slots populated and four 15-core processors at 2.8 GHz.
