  • 12Gb/s MINI SAS backplane with temperature control chipset
  • 2U 19" rackmount fits 12" x 13" E-ATX motherboard
  • Three 8038 ball-bearing fans plus a fourth fan slot for airflow

2U 12-Bay SAS/SATA Chassis

The HOTCFWQ 2U rackmount server chassis fits twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bays in a 19-inch frame. It supports SAS and SATA drives up to 6Gb/s across multiple backplane options with integrated temperature control. The steel enclosure measures 437.5mm wide by 650mm deep by 88mm high and accepts motherboards up to 12 by 13 inches.

Storage-dense rack builds

This unit suits deployments that need high drive counts in a shallow 2U profile, such as cloud storage, big data, or security monitoring clusters. The seven full-height PCIe slots allow add-in controllers or networking cards. Builders who need a tower form factor, a deeper enclosure for long GPUs, or more than twelve drive bays should look at a different platform.

12Gb/s backplane option

The critical choice is the backplane speed: a 12Gb/s mini-SAS or expander backplane doubles the per-lane bandwidth of the standard 6Gb/s versions and determines which controllers and drives can run at their rated throughput. Selecting the 12Gb/s variant is the single specification that decides whether this chassis matches the performance target.

Questions about this item

Which motherboard form factor must I already have to fit this 2U chassis?

The chassis supports motherboards up to 12" x 13", so an E-ATX board of that size or smaller is required.

Will my existing 6 Gb/s SAS drives work with the 12 Gb/s MINI SAS backplane option?

Yes, the 12 Gb/s MINI SAS backplane is backward compatible with SAS II and III drives at 6 Gb/s.

How can I verify the three included 8038 ball-bearing fans are spinning after power-up?

Check the front OH/FAN Fail LED; if it stays off, all installed fans are operating normally.
