Quad-Socket Server with 24 Hot-Swap Bays

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-4890 v2 processors running at 2.8 GHz with 15 cores each. It includes 256 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 modules. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays for SATA or SAS drives and four redundant 1620 W platinum power supplies.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This system suits organisations that need high core counts and large internal drive capacity in a single 4U enclosure. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays or require a different processor family should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed MegaRAID 9361-8i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection.

24 front 3.5-inch hot-swap bays define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 3.5-inch hot-swap backplane, which sets the maximum number of spinning drives or SSDs the server can hold internally. Expansion beyond this limit requires external enclosures or a different chassis.

Questions about this item

What PCIe standard does the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The MegaRAID 9361-8i is an 8-port SAS 12Gb/s controller on a PCIe 3.0 slot, providing up to 12Gb/s per SAS lane for connected drives.

What physical mounting hardware is required to install this 4U server in a rack?

The unit fits a standard 4U rack space but front bezel and rack mount rails are not included and must be sourced separately.

How are the four Xeon E7-4890 v2 processors and 256GB DDR3 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

All four CPUs and 32 DIMMs come factory-installed; the common oversight is failing to connect the dedicated IPMI 2.0 LAN port for remote KVM-over-LAN access.
