36-Bay 4U Storage Server
The Supermicro SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rackmount server system built for high-density storage deployments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 14-core processors running at 2.60 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A MegaRAID 9361-8i controller manages up to 36 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive bays. Quad 10GBase-T ports and IPMI 2.0 provide connectivity and remote management.
Storage-Focused Builds
This server suits organisations that need massive raw capacity in a single chassis for archiving, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters. The 36-bay layout and hardware RAID support cover typical object-store and NAS workloads. It is not suited for buyers who need GPU compute density or more than eight internal RAID ports. The fixed 14-core CPUs and 256 GB memory limit virtualisation density compared with larger configurations.
Eight-Port RAID Controller
The installed MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight internal SAS 12 Gb/s ports with 1 GB cache and battery backup. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 36 drive bays. Expanding the array beyond eight direct ports requires additional HBAs or expander backplanes not included in this configuration.

Questions about this item
How do I install the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller and what step is often missed?
Seat the MegaRAID 9361-8i in a PCIe slot, connect its eight internal SAS ports to the backplanes, then attach the cache battery module to the controller header; the battery is easily forgotten and without it write-back caching stays disabled.
Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?
The two 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies and the cooling fans are the primary field-replaceable units; the RAID cache battery also degrades and should be swapped every few years to keep write-back caching active.
What performance limit appears first when all 36 bays are driven hard?
The MegaRAID 9361-8i provides only eight 12 Gb/s SAS lanes, so aggregate throughput from 36 drives is bottlenecked at the controller before the dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs or the 256 GB DDR4 memory become saturated.
