Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT 4U rack server 4× Xeon E7-4820 v2 2.0GHz 8-core 256GB DDR3 24× 3.5" bays

Quad-Socket 4U Server with 24 Hot-Swap Bays

The Supermicro SYS-8048B-TRFT is a 4U rackmount server system populated with four Intel Xeon E7-4820 v2 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with eight cores. It arrives with 256 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 32 modules. Twenty-four front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives and are served by an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Redundant 1620 W platinum power supplies and IPMI 2.0 with dedicated LAN complete the chassis.

Suited for Dense Storage and Legacy Memory Workloads

Organisations that need a single chassis holding many 3.5-inch drives and that rely on DDR3 registered ECC memory will find this configuration matches those requirements. The quad-socket layout provides 32 total cores for multi-threaded applications. Buyers who need more than eight internal RAID ports, faster memory technology or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

MegaRAID 9361-8i Controller with Eight SAS Ports

The installed LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal 12 Gb/s SAS ports supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It includes 1 GB of cache protected by a battery backup unit. This controller determines how many drives can be managed directly and which RAID levels are available without adding an additional HBA.
