Supermicro SYS-6029U-E1CR4T 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 12-bay 3.5" rack server

Dual 12-core Xeon 2U server

The Supermicro SYS-6029U-E1CR4T is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 threads. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. It targets virtualization hosts, hyper-converged storage clusters and cloud compute nodes that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a compact rack footprint.

Tool-less drive trays and PCIe cards

Twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch trays slide into the front without screws, and the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Expansion slots are full-height and full-length; verify card bracket clearance before ordering. The dedicated IPMI 2.0 port enables remote KVM and virtual media, but the front bezel and rack rails are not included, so budget for those separately.

Dual 1000 W Titanium supplies under load

Two redundant 1000 W Titanium-rated power supplies share the load, keeping efficiency high when both CPUs sustain turbo frequencies up to 3.2 GHz. The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane feeds the RAID controller without bottlenecks during sustained write-heavy workloads. Four 10GBase-T ports from the Intel X710 controller maintain line-rate throughput for storage replication or VM migration. Builders needing NVMe acceleration or more than 24 DIMM slots should plan for additional add-in cards.
