Chassis Plans Announces High Availability 2U Rackmount Enclosure
San Diego, CA - August 14, 2007 - Chassis Plans released the E9Chassis today providing a mission critical qualified 2U rackmount chassis platform. The E9Chassis provides four hot swap drive bays for 3-1/2" SATA, SCSI, or EIDE drives allowing a high performance RAID implementation. Two 5-1/4" drive bays allow installation of higher performance DVD and tape drives not available in slim form factors more common in other 2U enclosures. A 3-1/2" drive position provides for a floppy drive and an internal 3-1/2" drive can be used for sensitive crypto data or an operating system allowing the RAID to be used exclusively for data storage.
The E9Chassis allows for installation of a redundant power supply. In conjunction with Chassis Plans' Long Life Industrial Motherboards such as the recently introduced Core Duo ATXP-965Q, these chassis features allows Chassis Plans to provide a high availability mission critical system with assured up time performance.
The chassis is well cooled with four mid-chassis 80mm 42CFM fans with cooling optimized for today's higher wattage high performance dual processor, quad core motherboards. Other fan options provide for additional cooling or lower noise. The E9Chassis will accept an EATX 12x13" Server Class motherboard.
"The E9Chassis continues Chassis Plans history of providing our customers high performance, high quality, high availability solutions for critical industrial and military applications." said David Lippincott, founder and Chief Technologist for Chassis Plans. "We listen to our customers and give them what they say they want, not what we want to build."
The E9Chassis is available providing mounting for three full-length full-height plug-in cards mounted horizontally. An alternative rear panel allows installation of seven low profile plug-in cards mounted vertically for high channel count systems.
Several custom options are available for the E9Chassis including enhanced cooling for high temperature installations, custom paint and logo, and chassis design enhancements to exactly meet customer specifications and requirements.
