Serverbehuizing Supermicro SuperChassis 826BE1C-R920LPB Rack zwart

The Supermicro SuperChassis 826BE1C-R920LPB is a 1U rack server chassis in black designed for dense storage and reliable operation. It accommodates twelve 3.5" hot-swap SAS3/SATA drive bays and offers optional two 2.5" hot-swap SATA bays for OS mirroring. The chassis includes a SAS3 single-expander backplane with SES-2 and cascading support, Mini-SAS HD 12Gbps connectivity (two ports in and two ports out), three 80mm hot-swap cooling fans, and dual 920W redundant Platinum-level power supplies. Its compact dimensions (437 mm W x 648 mm D x 89 mm H) and EATX motherboard support make it suitable for space-efficient server deployments in data centers and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The chassis provides high-density 3.5" drive capacity with hot-swap capability and SAS3 backplane support for scalable storage performance. Redundant 920W Platinum power supplies deliver high-efficiency power with failover protection, while three hot-swap 80mm fans ensure active cooling and easy maintenance. Mini-SAS HD 12Gbps ports and SES-2 cascading enable flexible connectivity and expansion. Compact 1U form factor with EATX support helps optimize rack space without sacrificing drive capacity.

Suitable for

• High-density storage servers
• Enterprise file, backup and archive systems
• Virtualization hosts requiring large local storage
• Database servers with multiple 3.5" drives
• Edge and rack deployments prioritizing space efficiency

How to use

Install a compatible EATX motherboard and populate the 3.5" drive bays with SAS3 or SATA drives as required. If OS mirroring is desired, fit up to two 2.5" SATA drives in the optional bays. Connect host controllers or RAID cards to the Mini-SAS HD ports on the backplane using appropriate cables. Mount the chassis into a rack using the front mounting ears, connect AC power to both 920W PSU units for redundancy, and configure fan policies and power settings in the server firmware or management interface. For drive replacement or maintenance, use the hot-swap trays and replace failed drives without powering down the system.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use enterprise-grade SAS3 or SATA drives, implement RAID or controller-level redundancy, and keep both redundant PSUs connected to separate power sources where possible. Monitor fan and power supply status via system management tools and schedule regular firmware updates for the backplane and motherboard.
