Supermicro have announced availability of its 17.7"/14.5" 2U chassis solutions. Both the SC825MTQ and SC523L series chassis save valuable space and energy while supporting 12" x 13"/12" x 10" standard DP serverboards, making them ideal solutions for IT environments where space and power are at a premium.
"Designed with our industry-leading approach to thermal management, cooling control, and high-efficiency power supplies, Supermicro short-depth 2U chassis are earth-friendly solutions that deliver significant energy savings to end-users," asserts Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. "As enterprises focus more and more on the importance of operational efficiency, these solutions are gaining popularity for a wide range of server applications."
Feature-rich SC825MTQ series chassis support seven expansion cards, three 3.5" hot-swap drive bays for RAID configuration and two high-efficiency (90%+) 700-watt redundant power supplies. Optimized for Quad-Core dual-processor or single-processor motherboards including 16 DIMM serverboards, the SC825MTQ-R700UB also supports Supermicro's newly defined Universal I/O (UIO) architecture to provide exceptional configuration flexibility via four full-height and three low-profile expansion card slots. With a depth of 17.7", SC825MTQ chassis feature an advanced thermal design for highly efficient cooling and quiet operation. For those who prefer DC power, Supermicro also offers redundant, high-efficiency 710-watt power supplies.
Compact, 14.5" depth, SC523L Series chassis provide front-side I/O access to help facilitate easy system management and maintenance. Optimized for ATX (12" x 10") motherboards, these chassis support seven low-profile add-on cards and two fixed internal 3.5" hard drives. While the SC523L-520B comes standard with a high-efficiency 520-watt power supply, the SC523L-410B features a 410-watt DC power supply.
