Space-saving 2U Rackmount Server Chassis

The Athena Power RM-2UC238 is a black 2U rackmount server chassis built from 1.0mm SECC steel. It accepts MicroATX boards up to 9.6 in. x 9.6 in. and Mini-ITX boards at 6.7 in. x 6.7 in., making it suitable for small-business servers or edge-computing nodes that must fit a standard 19 in. rack.

Upgrade from tower or 1U systems

This chassis replaces a tower server when rack density becomes a priority, or a 1U unit when additional expansion is required. The jump is worth it when you need two external 5.25 in. drive bays and four low-profile vertical PCI slots while staying within a 14 in. depth that fits shallow cabinets.

Straightforward rack installation

The unit mounts in a standard 19 in. rack using its 3.50 in. height and 17.13 in. width, weighing 10.00 lbs. Two front 80mm fans provide intake airflow, and a removable washable air filter simplifies maintenance. Builders must source a compatible PS3 single power supply separately, and full-height cards will not fit the low-profile slots.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and width does the 2U RM-2UC238 require for mounting?

The chassis measures 14.00 inches deep and 17.13 inches wide, fitting a standard 19-inch rack with 2U (3.50-inch) height clearance.

How are the two front 80mm fans installed, and what common step is missed?

The fans mount behind the removable front bezel; the step often missed is reconnecting the fan power headers to the motherboard or fan controller before closing the bezel.

When should the removable air filter be cleaned or replaced?

Inspect the washable air filter monthly and clean it whenever dust buildup is visible to maintain airflow through the front 80mm fans.
