Supermicro SuperWorkstation 7049A-T barebone server Tower 4U, Dual 3647, 8 x 3.5" hot-swap, 1200 W redundant Platinum, no CPU, no RAM, no HDD

The Supermicro SuperWorkstation 7049A-T Rack 4U in black is a 4U rackmount computer case built for high-performance workstations and server-class deployments. Based on the Intel® C621 chipset, it supports LGA 3647 processors with a 10.4 GT/s system bus, up to 2 TB of DDR4-SDRAM memory, and provides onboard Aspeed AST2500 graphics. The chassis accommodates eight 3.5" drives with Serial ATA III interfaces and supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. Network connectivity includes Fast and Gigabit Ethernet and the unit ships with a 1200 W power supply.

Advantages

The SuperWorkstation 7049A-T offers enterprise-grade build quality and component selection, a broad set of I/O ports including four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A ports, and a high-capacity power supply suitable for demanding configurations. Its design supports high memory capacity (up to 2 TB DDR4) and multiple 3.5" bay storage, making it appropriate for compute‑intensive and storage‑heavy workloads. Redfish API support and server-class management features via the onboard Aspeed AST2500 are suitable for remote administration.

Suitable for

• Workstations for engineering, rendering, and simulation
• Server rack deployments in data centers and small clusters
• High‑performance computing (HPC) and machine learning nodes
• Storage‑intensive applications requiring multiple 3.5" drives

How to use

Install the SuperWorkstation 7049A-T into a standard 19" rack using appropriate rails or mounting brackets. Populate the chassis with supported LGA 3647 processors, DDR4 DIMMs up to the platform maximum, and install 3.5" SATA III drives into the available bays. Connect power to the provided 1200 W supply and attach network cabling for Fast/Gigabit Ethernet. Configure RAID using the chosen controller or motherboard RAID utility and manage the system remotely using the Aspeed AST2500 out‑of‑band management or Redfish API as required.

Recommendations

For sustained high loads, verify adequate rack airflow and cooling, and use a power distribution unit (PDU) sized for the total rack power draw. When deploying for storage or HPC tasks, use enterprise‑grade drives and ECC DDR4 modules to maximize reliability and performance.
