12-bay 2U rackmount server chassis

The HOTCFWQ chassis fits a standard 19" rack at 88 mm height and holds twelve 3.5" hot-swap drive bays. A 6Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane with a temperature-control chipset handles the drives. The steel frame uses 1.0 mm SGCC zinc-coated material and includes three 8038 ball-bearing fans as standard.

Suits storage servers needing dense 3.5" capacity

This unit targets cloud storage, big data or security monitoring builds that want twelve front-accessible bays in 2U. It supports motherboards up to 12" x 10.5" and seven full-height PCI/PCIE slots. Buyers who need 2.5" drive trays, 12Gb/s SAS backplanes or more than seven expansion slots should consider other designs.

6Gb/s SAS/SATA hot-swap backplane

The backplane sets the maximum drive interface speed at 6Gb/s for both SAS and SATA drives. Twelve bays connect through this single backplane, so every drive shares that bandwidth ceiling. If the deployment requires 12Gb/s SAS throughput per drive, this chassis will not meet that requirement.
