24-Bay 4U Rackmount Server Chassis

The HOTCFWQ 4U rackmount chassis fits a standard 19-inch rack and provides 24 hot-swappable 3.5-inch drive bays. It accepts SATA II/III or SAS II/III drives operating at 6Gb/s. The 1.0mm SGCC zinc-coated steel construction meets EMC design standards. It is built for dense storage deployments such as cloud storage, big data and security monitoring.

24 Drive Bays with 12Gb/s Expander Backplane

The expander backplane option delivers 12Gb/s Mini SAS connectivity with an onboard temperature control chipset. Twenty-four bays give substantial raw capacity for distributed storage or NAS workloads. The 6Gb/s drive interface limits per-drive throughput, so sustained sequential performance tops out at that rate. Seven full-height PCI/PCIe slots provide room for RAID controllers or networking cards.

Three 12038 Ball-Bearing Fans

Three included 12038H ball-bearing fans move air across the drive bays and motherboard area. The chassis accepts a standard PS2 power supply or a redundant power supply for higher availability. Two front-accessible USB 2.0 ports are standard, with USB 3.0 offered as an option. System LEDs and switches cover power, reset, drive activity, network, UID and fault indication.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 6 Gb/s SAS drives work in the 12 Gb/s expander backplane?

Yes, the 24 hot-swappable bays accept SAS II or III drives at 6 Gb/s and the expander backplane negotiates the link speed automatically.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the backplane and fans are operating normally?

The Power LED, HDD LED and OH/FAN Fail LED show power, drive activity and any fan or over-temperature fault.

Does the chassis ship with a motherboard, PSU or drive trays, or must I source them separately?

The unit includes the 4U chassis, 12 Gb/s expander backplane and three 12038H fans; motherboard, PS2 or redundant PSU and drives are not supplied.
