The C7 Series chassis represent the next generation of RAID capable server chassis providing high performance in a low cost 4U rackmount enclosure. Feature rich, the C7 Series is a solid, robust design which will meet the most rigorous and demanding requirements.

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 storage with the provided six front accessible 5-1/4 inch drive bays, one front accessible 3-1/2 inch drive bay, one internal 3-1/2 inch drive mounting and two optional internal 3-1/2 inch drives. Low cost drive carriers can be used to build a RAID instead of using expensive SCA SCSI drives.

A full width lockable door covers and protects the drives. Accessible behind the door is the power and reset switches. The drive and alarm LED's are mounted on the door.

A full width filter is provided behind the door and is easily accessed for cleaning. Cooling is provided by four 90mm 51CFM hot swap fans.

An optional alarm status board monitors fan operation and chassis temperature. An alarm is sounded and contact closure is available for an alarmed state.

The C7 Chassis provides for mounting an EATX motherboard (12x13"). An innovative card hold-down mechanism assures cards stay seated in high-G environments such as shipping.
