3U 16-Bay 6Gb/s Expander Chassis

This rackmount server chassis fits a standard 19-inch cabinet and holds sixteen hot-swappable 3.5-inch drives on a 6Gb/s expander backplane with a temperature-control chipset. It is built from 1.0 mm SGCC zinc-coated steel and supports motherboards up to 12 by 10.5 inches.

High-density storage builds.

The unit targets cloud storage, big data and surveillance deployments that need many SATA or SAS drives in 3U of rack space. Builders who need a tower form factor, fewer drive bays or a shorter chassis depth should look elsewhere.

6Gb/s expander backplane with temperature chipset

A single backplane handles all sixteen bays at 6Gb/s and includes an onboard temperature-control chipset for drive monitoring. Seven full-height PCIe slots and two front USB 2.0 ports complete the expansion and connectivity options.

Questions about this item

What motherboard size must I already have to fit this 3U chassis?

The chassis supports motherboards up to 12 x 10.5 inches, so any standard ATX or E-ATX board within those dimensions will mount correctly.

Will my existing 6 Gb/s SAS drives work in the 16 hot-swap bays?

Yes, each 3.5-inch bay accepts SATA II/III and SAS II/III drives at 6 Gb/s, so your current SAS drives will operate at their rated speed.

How can I confirm the backplane and fans are operating after installation?

Front-panel LEDs show Power, HDD activity, NIC status, UID, overheat or fan-fail, and power-fail conditions, giving immediate visual confirmation.
