Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N 36-bay 4U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2667 v4 3.2GHz 256GB DDR4

36-Bay 4U Server for High-Density Storage

The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount system designed for massive storage capacity. It houses dual Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The unit includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup manages up to 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive bays.

Suits Storage-Heavy Workloads.

This platform targets enterprise storage, data archiving and high-throughput applications needing many drive slots and 10 GbE networking. The Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory provides only basic display output. Buyers who need GPU compute density, more than eight cores per socket or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms. The front bezel and rack mount rails are not included in the shipment.

36 Hot-Swap 3.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drive bays arranged in 24 front and 12 rear positions. This density dictates the 4U height and the dual 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies. If the workload requires fewer bays, a different chassis will save rack space and power.
