Chassis format and motherboard support

The Supermicro CSE-825TQC-R802LPB is a silver 2U desktop server chassis. It accommodates motherboards up to 13.68" x 13", E-ATX 12" x 13", and ATX 12" x 10". An 800W redundant power supply is included. Three hot-swap 80mm PWM fans provide cooling.

Suited for high-density storage.

Builders needing eight hot-swap 3.5" SAS3/SATA bays plus two fixed 3.5" bays in a compact 2U frame will fit here. The seven low-profile expansion slots rule out standard-height add-in cards. Buyers requiring full-height slots should consider a different chassis.

Eight hot-swap bays with SAS3 12Gbps backplane

The integrated 8-port SAS3 12Gbps TQ backplane connects up to eight 3.5-inch SAS3 or SATA drives. This backplane specification determines whether the chassis matches the storage controller and drive type in the build.

Questions about this item

What motherboard sizes fit the 2U chassis?

The chassis supports boards up to 13.68" x 13", E-ATX 12" x 13" and ATX 12" x 10".

How is the redundant power supply installed and what step is often missed?

Slide the 1U 800W unit in until the latch clicks, then connect the PMBus cable to the motherboard header; skipping the cable disables monitoring.

When do the hot-swap fans need replacement?

Replace a fan when the chassis alarm sounds or the PWM speed drops below the threshold reported by the management controller.
