The unit ships without a power supply.

Zinc-Coated Steel Build With Dual Backplane Options

The 1.0 mm SGCC zinc-coated steel frame meets EMC design standards to reduce electromagnetic interference. Buyers choose between a 6Gb/s or 12Gb/s MINI SAS backplane, each fitted with a temperature control chipset. Three 12038H ball-bearing fans provide front-to-rear airflow. The chassis accepts a standard PS2 or redundant power supply.

Front USB And Comprehensive System LEDs

Two front-accessible USB 2.0 ports are included, with an optional USB 3.0 upgrade. The control panel offers power and reset switches plus LEDs for power, drive activity, dual NIC status, unit identification, overheat or fan failure, and power supply failure. These indicators simplify daily monitoring in cloud storage, big data or security monitoring deployments.

Questions about this item

What speed does the 6Gb/s MINI SAS backplane cap each drive at?

The backplane limits each drive to 6Gb/s, matching SATA III and SAS 6Gb/s maximum throughput.

What are the exact dimensions and rack standard for mounting this 4U chassis?

It measures 437.5 mm wide, 650 mm deep, 176.5 mm high and fits a standard 19" rack.

How are the three 12038H ball bearing fans installed, and what step is often missed?

The fans mount in the front fan wall; the step often missed is connecting each fan header to the motherboard or fan controller so the temperature control chipset can regulate speed.
