2U 8-bay server chassis

This 2U rackmount chassis fits a standard 19-inch cabinet and is built from 1.0 mm SGCC zinc-coated steel. It targets operators who need dense hot-swap storage for cloud, big-data or surveillance workloads. The enclosure accepts E-ATX boards up to 12 by 13 inches and provides seven full-height PCIe expansion slots. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or a tower form factor should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power

Three 8025 AVC ball-bearing fans ship as standard, with mounting positions for a fourth 8 cm unit to increase airflow if needed. The backplane includes a temperature-control chipset to help manage drive thermals under sustained load. Power options cover a single 2U PSU or a redundant supply, so operators can choose the resilience level their deployment demands.

Drive interface and backplane

Eight 3.5-inch bays connect through a 6 Gb/s SATA or 6 Gb/s mini-SAS backplane, with a 12 Gb/s mini-SAS variant also available for higher throughput. Each bay supports SATA II or III and SAS II or III drives, enabling mixed spindle and SSD populations. An optional slim optical bay can alternatively house a 2.5-inch SSD or HDD for boot or cache duties.

Questions about this item

How do I mount this 2U chassis in a standard 19" rack and which step is often missed?

Use the 437.5 mm wide front flanges to bolt the unit into a 19" rack; the step often missed is securing the rear chassis rails or brackets so the 650 mm depth is fully supported.

Which cooling components will need replacement first and what are their specs?

The three included 8025 AVC ball-bearing fans are the primary moving parts; they occupy three of the four 8 cm fan positions and should be replaced when bearing noise or airflow drops.

What limits sustained throughput on the backplane during heavy drive activity?

The backplane tops out at 6 Gb/s per drive on the SAS or SATA interface, so aggregate bandwidth across all eight bays is capped by that 6 Gb/s link speed.
