  • Form factor4U
  • 36 drive bays fit dense storage deployments
  • 6 Gb/s expander backplane with Mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectivity
  • 24 front plus 12 rear 3.5" trays support 2.5" drives
  • Anti-EMI trays with LED light guides show drive status
  • Two hot-swappable 12038 ball fans deliver high airflow

36-bay 4U storage chassis

This 4U server chassis supports thirty-six 3.5-inch hard drives, with twenty-four bays at the front and twelve at the rear. All trays also accept 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs and feature anti-EMI extraction boxes with LED state indicators. A 6 Gb/s expander backplane uses Mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors and includes temperature monitoring, SGPIO support and staggered spin-up. The enclosure fits standard motherboards up to 12 × 13 inches.

Suited for dense cold-storage arrays

The chassis targets cloud storage, big data and security monitoring deployments that need maximum 3.5-inch capacity in a single rack unit. Seven full-height PCIe slots allow RAID controllers or additional network cards. Builders who need front-access 2.5-inch bays for hot-tier caching or who require more than seven expansion slots should consider alternative platforms. The fixed 6 Gb/s backplane also limits future migration to 12 Gb/s SAS without a backplane swap.

6 Gb/s expander backplane with Mini-SAS SFF-8087

The single specification that determines fit is the 6 Gb/s expander backplane using Mini-SAS SFF-8087 links. It fixes the maximum drive interface speed and the cabling topology for all thirty-six bays. Verify that your RAID controller or HBA supports 6 Gb/s expander connectivity over SFF-8087 before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24 front bays or the 12 rear bays for my 3.5" drives?

Both sections accept 3.5" and 2.5" drives, so you can use all 36 bays together; the split is physical, not a capacity choice.

What does the 6 Gb/s expander backplane actually deliver inside the chassis?

It connects every drive bay through Mini-SAS SFF-8087 links at up to 6 Gb/s per lane, with SGPIO status reporting and staggered spin-up to limit inrush current.

How many Mini-SAS SFF-8087 cables will the backplane need from my HBA?

The 6 Gb/s expander backplane uses Mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors; the exact port count depends on your HBA, but each cable carries four lanes of SAS traffic.
