2U 8-bay server chassis with 12 Gb/s SAS backplane

This 2U rackmount chassis fits a standard 19-inch cabinet and holds eight hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays. It supports SATA II or III and SAS II or III drives at up to 6 Gb/s per bay. The 12 Gb/s Mini SAS backplane includes a temperature control chipset. Construction uses 1.0 mm SGCC zinc-coated steel for durability.

Upgrade from fixed-bay

The hot-swap design lets you replace drives without powering down the system, and the dual backplane options cover both 6 Gb/s and 12 Gb/s Mini SAS connectivity. The jump is worth it when you need eight bays in 2U height with tool-less drive access and support for redundant power supplies. An optional slim CD-ROM bay can also host a 2.5-inch SSD.

Limits of the 12 Gb/s Mini SAS interface

The backplane delivers 12 Gb/s aggregate bandwidth, but each drive bay operates at the SATA or SAS device speed of 6 Gb/s. Seven full-height PCI/PCIe expansion slots are available for host bus adapters or RAID controllers. Front-panel USB 2.0 ports are standard with optional USB 3.0, and system LEDs cover power, drive activity, network, UID and fan or power failure status.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 437.5 mm x 560 mm x 88 mm chassis require?

The unit is 560 mm deep and fits a standard 19-inch rack; allow extra depth for rear cable routing and the 2U power supply.

How are the 3.5-inch hot-swap drives secured in the 12Gb/s SAS backplane bays?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier latch clicks; the backplane connector engages automatically — do not force the drive past the latch.

When should the three included 8025 AVC ball-bearing fans be replaced?

Replace fans when bearing noise increases, airflow drops, or the chassis OH/FAN Fail LED lights; keep spare 80 mm fans on hand.
