Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N 36-bay 4U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core 768GB DDR4 9361-8i

High-Density 36-Bay 4U Server

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount server system built for high-density storage environments. It integrates dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core processors running at 2.40 GHz with 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages up to 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drive bays, while quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 provide connectivity and remote management.

Suited For Enterprise Storage Workloads

This server suits organisations deploying massive direct-attached storage, backup repositories or archival platforms that require 36 drive bays in a single chassis. The dual 14-core CPUs and large memory pool handle heavy file-serving and software-defined storage tasks. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or more than eight internal RAID ports should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight-Port 12Gb/s RAID Controller

The installed LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i delivers eight internal SAS 12Gb/s ports with 1GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This port count and feature set determine how many drives can be grouped into protected arrays and whether the controller meets the performance and redundancy requirements of the target workload.
