1U Rackmount 4-Bay Server Chassis
The iStarUSA E1M4 is a 1U silver rackmount chassis built from heavy-duty SGCC cold-rolled steel. It supports E-ATX, ATX and micro-ATX motherboards up to 12 x 13 inches. Four 40 mm fans provide airflow across the internal layout. Front indicators show power, fan failure and drive activity while switches handle power, reset and mute functions.
Storage-Dense 1U Builds Without Full-Height
This chassis suits deployments that need four hot-swap 3.5" SAS/SATA bays in a single rack unit and only one low-profile expansion slot. The front panel adds two USB 2.0 ports plus a slim 5.25" optical bay and a slim 3.5" FDD bay. Builds requiring multiple full-height cards, additional drive bays or front USB 3.0 connectivity should consider a larger form factor.
Four Hot-Swap Bays With One Low-Profile Slot
The four hot-swap bays accommodate 3.5" SAS and SATA drives, giving dense storage capacity within the 1U height. A single expansion slot limits add-in cards to low-profile designs only. Cooling relies on the four included 40 mm fans; thermal headroom will depend on the specific motherboard and drive configuration installed.
