Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ rack server 2x Xeon E5-2697 v4 2.3GHz 18C 512GB DDR4 4x 3.5" bays

Dual Xeon 1U server for virtualised workloads

The Supermicro SYS-6018U-TR4T+ is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors, each providing 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The platform targets virtualisation, high-performance computing and cloud deployments that demand dense multi-threaded capacity in a single rack unit.

Sustained load behaviour with redundant power

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy so the system remains online if one unit fails. The MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB battery-backed cache sustains write throughput during RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 rebuilds. Four 10GBase-T ports on the Intel X540 adapter maintain network bandwidth for storage replication and VM migration without saturating a single link.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack accepts 1U depth and that the 3.5-inch drive trays match the SAS or SATA drives you plan to install, because no drives are included. The front bezel and rack-mount rails are not supplied, so source those separately. Confirm that your management network can reach the dedicated IPMI 2.0 port for KVM-over-LAN access. Ensure the LGA 2011-3 socket and DDR4 memory generation align with any future upgrade plans.
