The A2000 Series chassis is a high performance
design in a low cost 6U rackmount enclosure.
Feature rich, the A2000 Series is a
solid, robust design which will meet
the most rigorous and demanding requirements.
This chassis is ideal for I/O intensive
applications such as telephony, data
acquisition, Digital Video Recording
(DVR), high density web server, back
office server, firewall, proxy server
and VPN gateway applications including
collocation.
The enclosure
is constructed of 18 gauge steel, clear
zinc plated for corrosion protection
and an attractive appearance. The front
panel is attractively detailed and is
of heavier gauge than the chassis.
There is a huge
amount of drive space with the seven
front accessible 5-1/4" drive bays.
This allows for a low cost RAID implementation
using SCSI or ATA drives. One external
3.5 inch drive is also available. |
A door covers and
protects the drives. Accessible behind
the door is the power and reset switches
as well as the power-on and drive activity
LED's. The LED's are visible through
the door when it is closed.
Cooling is provided
by four 90mm 51CFM hot swap fans. The
thermal management board monitors fan
operation.
The A2000 Chassis
provides for mounting a 20-slot passive
backplane. A wide variety of backplanes
are available offering different mixes
of ISA and PCI slots. Depending on the
CPU selection, up to 19 plug-in cards
can be installed. The chassis is designed
to accomodate split backplanes offering
support for up to 4 splits.
Power is provided
by rear mounted PS/2 style power supply.
Several power supply options are available
including redundant power.
