1U Rackmount Chassis for ATX Systems

The Enlight EN-8970 is a 1U rackmount server chassis designed to hold an ATX motherboard in a standard 19-inch rack. It provides a compact black enclosure for dense compute deployments where space is limited. Builders needing deeper expansion slots or larger coolers should consider taller rack units instead.

Fixed 180 W Power Supply and 40 mm Cooling

A built-in 180 W supply powers the board and drives, leaving no room for a higher-wattage unit if components draw more. Six 40 mm fans move air through the shallow 1.75-inch height, but their small diameter can produce noticeable noise under load. The single 5.25-inch and single external 3.5-inch bay restrict removable media options.

Slide-in Installation with Cable Routing Limits

The chassis slides into a 19-inch rack on rails and secures with front-panel screws, so rack depth must accommodate the 23-inch length. ATX board mounting holes line up, yet the tight interior makes routing the 24-pin and CPU power cables difficult. Verify drive bay alignment before finalising the build.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single 5.25" bay or the 3.5" bay for my optical drive?

The chassis provides one external 5.25" bay, so an optical drive fits there; the two external 3.5" bays are sized for smaller drives.

What does the 180 W power supply actually run in a built server?

The included 180 W unit powers the motherboard, six 40 mm fans and the installed drives within the 1U height limit.

How does the 1U rackmount form factor limit expansion cards?

At 1.75 inches tall the case only accepts low-profile cards that fit the 1U rack unit.
