SuperServer 1028U-E1CR4+ Overview and Specifications

Product Overview

The SuperServer 1028U-E1CR4+ is a high-performance 1U rackmount server designed for demanding enterprise environments. This system is sold as a complete, pre-assembled unit to ensure optimal integrity and performance, requiring a minimum of two CPUs and four DIMMs for operation. It is built upon the X10DRU-i+ motherboard, providing a robust foundation for virtualization, cloud computing, and high-density storage applications.

Processor and Memory Capabilities

The server features dual LGA 2011 sockets supporting the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4/v3 family, with support for up to 22 cores per processor. To maximize computational throughput, the system includes 24 DIMM slots, supporting up to 3TB of ECC 3DS LRDIMM or 1.5TB of ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM memory. The system supports various memory speeds up to 2400MHz, ensuring high bandwidth for memory-intensive workloads.

Storage and Expansion

Storage flexibility is a key feature of the 1028U-E1CR4+, offering 10 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays. These bays are managed via an expander and require a compatible storage add-on card, such as the AOC-S3108L-H8iR-16DD or AOC-S3008L-L8e, to support various RAID configurations including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Expansion is facilitated by two PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots and two PCI-E 3.0 x8 slots, providing ample room for additional networking or accelerator cards.

Management and Monitoring

The server includes advanced management features through the ASPEED AST2400 BMC, supporting IPMI 2.0 with virtual media over LAN and KVM-over-LAN capabilities. System health is monitored via SuperDoctor 5 and Intel Node Manager 3.0, which track voltage, fan speeds, and thermal conditions. The chassis is equipped with five heavy-duty fans with optimal speed control to maintain stable operating temperatures.

Power and Environmental Requirements

Power is supplied by redundant 750W Platinum Level power supplies, ensuring high efficiency and reliability. The system is designed to operate within a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C and relative humidity levels between 8% and 90%. Proper airflow is maintained by an included air shroud, and the system supports chassis intrusion detection for enhanced physical security.
