2U rackmount chassis with twelve drive bays

The Athena Power RM-2U2123HE is a 2U rackmount server chassis built from 1.0mm SGCC steel in black. It accepts MicroATX, ATX, E-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and provides twelve external 3.5-inch drive bays for high-density storage. Three 80mm fans and a single or redundant 2U power supply form factor handle cooling and power.

Suited for dense storage servers.

This chassis suits builders who need many 3.5-inch drives in a shallow 2U rack footprint with front USB 2.0 access and basic status indicators. It is not for workloads that require full-height expansion cards, liquid-cooling radiators or front-panel USB 3.0 and newer ports.

Motherboard compatibility up to E-ATX 12 by 13

The decisive specification is the maximum motherboard size supported: E-ATX at 12 inches by 13 inches. Boards larger than those dimensions will not fit, so verify your motherboard measurements against this limit before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the chassis is running correctly after installation?

Check that the front-panel Status, LAN, HDD and Power LEDs light up, press the Power On/Off switch to start the system and use the Reset switch to verify a clean reboot.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The chassis includes three 80 mm fans, a front panel with two USB 2.0 ports and the indicator and switch assembly; you must supply a compatible MicroATX, ATX, E-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboard and a 2U single or Micro 2U redundant power supply.

Which drive-bay capacity should I choose for my storage needs?

This model provides twelve external 3.5-inch drive bays, so select it when you need that many hot-swap slots; no other bay count is offered for this chassis.
