Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N 36 Bay 3.5" 4U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2667 v4 3.2GHz 8 Core 16GB DDR4 9361-8i

High-density 36-bay storage server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount server system built for high-density storage environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each and 16 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A MegaRAID 9361-8i controller provides hardware RAID across 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 levels. Thirty-six hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays accept SATA and SAS drives for massive capacity.

Suited for archival and throughput workloads

This server targets organisations that need dense, redundant block storage with 10 GbE connectivity and IPMI 2.0 remote management. The four 10GBase-T ports and dual 1280 W platinum power supplies support continuous operation in data-intensive roles. Buyers who require GPU compute, larger installed memory footprints or direct-attached U.2 devices should evaluate alternative platforms. The front bezel and rack rails are not included.

36 hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays decide fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 36-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane supporting SATA and SAS drives. If the deployment calls for that exact bay count and form factor in a 4U chassis, this system matches the requirement; otherwise a different chassis density is needed.
