Quad-socket Xeon 4U server

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount system populated with four Intel Xeon E7-4850 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with a 2.8 GHz turbo frequency and provides 16 cores. The chassis holds 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 modules.

Suits storage-heavy workloads; not for GPU compute

This server targets environments that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity and quad-socket CPU throughput. Twenty-four hot-swap bays accept SATA or SAS drives behind an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache. The Matrox G200 graphics core offers only basic video output, so the platform does not suit GPU-accelerated tasks.

24 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays drive the storage decision

The defining specification is the front-accessible bay count: twenty-four 3.5-inch trays supporting SATA and SAS media. No drives are installed, so capacity scales with the disks you add. The eight-port RAID controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across those bays.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 4U chassis get with four 1620 W power supplies running 24/7?

Four 1620 W platinum supplies share the load, and the 4U height allows larger fans to move air at lower RPM, keeping noise and heat lower than a denser 1U or 2U design.

Which drives and cables must I supply to use the 24 hot-swap bays and the 9361-8i controller?

The 24 front bays accept 3.5" SATA or SAS drives; the MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight 12 Gb/s SAS ports, so you need SAS or SATA drives and matching cables for the remaining bays.

Will the X540 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 work with my older Cat 5e patch panel and KVM switch?

The two X540 RJ45 ports run 10GBase-T and negotiate down to 1 Gb/s on Cat 5e, while the dedicated IPMI 2.0 RJ45 port works with any standard KVM-over-IP client.
