Dual 18-core Xeon 2U server
The Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors, each with 18 cores running at 2.3GHz and a 3.6GHz turbo. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16GB modules. The system targets organisations that need dense, multi-threaded compute for virtualisation, database or rendering workloads in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.6GHz should look elsewhere.
Verify rack depth and drive count
Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that you have sufficient 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives to populate up to twelve trays; the server includes the trays but no drives. The onboard MegaRAID 9361-8i controller provides eight internal SAS 12Gb/s ports with 1GB cache and battery backup, so plan your array layout around that port count. Ensure your network infrastructure supports 10GBase-T cabling for the four RJ45 ports on the Intel X540 add-in card. A dedicated IPMI 2.0 LAN port is also required for remote management access.
Controller cache and IPMI enable remote uptime
The 9361-8i controller’s 1GB cache with battery backup preserves write data during unexpected power loss, improving array consistency. The Intel X540 card adds four 10GBase-T ports for high-throughput storage or cluster traffic without extra NICs. IPMI 2.0 with virtual media and KVM-over-LAN lets administrators install operating systems, update firmware or troubleshoot boot issues from any location. Dual 1000 watt titanium-efficiency power supplies provide redundant power conversion for continuous operation.

Questions about this item
Does the SYS-6028U-TR4T+ ship with any 3.5" hard drives installed?
The 12 drive trays are supplied empty; you must provide SAS or SATA drives separately.
Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory for the dual Xeon E5-2697 v4 CPUs?
The eight 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules fill half the DIMM slots, leaving room to expand if your workloads need more than 128 GB.
What does the 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.6 GHz turbo mean for real-world throughput on the 18-core Xeon E5-2697 v4?
Base frequency handles sustained multi-threaded loads; turbo lifts single-thread bursts to 3.6 GHz when thermals allow.
