Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 server for dense storage
The SYS-6048R-E1CR36N is a 4U rack server built around two 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform targets organisations that need high drive counts in a single chassis for archiving, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters.
36 hot-swap bays and dual 1280 W supplies
Thirty-six 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays populate 24 front and 12 rear slots, all served by an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Quad 10GBase-T ports from an Intel X540 controller handle high-throughput networking, while a dedicated IPMI 2.0 LAN port provides KVM-over-LAN and virtual media. Redundant 1280 W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies support hot-swap replacement.
256 GB memory and 36-drive ceiling
The installed 256 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC suits typical storage workloads; the board accepts up to 1.5 TB of RDIMM or 3 TB of 3DS LRDIMM across 24 slots for memory-heavy duties. Drive capacity maxes out at the 36-bay limit, and the eight-port RAID controller constrains array count unless additional HBAs are added. No GPU expansion is practical beyond the onboard Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory.

Questions about this item
What limits sustained throughput on the 9361-8i RAID controller?
The LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i provides eight 12Gb/s SAS ports and 1GB cache with battery backup, so drive count and RAID level set the practical ceiling.
How loud and hot does the 4U chassis get with dual 145W CPUs and 36 drives running 24/7?
Two 1280W 80 Plus Platinum supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling handle the thermal load; exact acoustics and temperatures depend on drive mix and airflow configuration.
Which rails and drives must I supply to populate the 36 hot-swap bays?
The server ships without rack rails or drives; you need 3.5" SAS/SATA drives and compatible mounting rails for your cabinet.
