The E7 Series chassis is an ultra high performance design in a low cost 2U rackmount enclosure. Feature rich, the E7 Series is a solid, robust design which will meet the most rigorous and demanding requirements. This chassis is ideal for high density I/O and drive intensive applications.

The enclosure is constructed of 18 gauge steel, clear zinc plated for corrosion protection and an attractive appearance. The front panel is attractively detailed and is of heavier gauge than the chassis.

The E7 provides for eight front accessible hot swap 3-1/2" drives. Models for SATA, IDE and SCA drives are available. In addition, two internal 2-1/2" drives can be installed. The front panel provides for one externally accessible slim CD/DVD and one slim floppy drive. The drives can easily be configured for a large RAID. The E7 is ideal for data intensive or mission critical applications.

The chassis is cooled by four 80mm 42CFM ball bearing fans. Air flow is in through a front mounted air filter. The fans are mounted mid-chassis to improve drive cooling. A thermal management card monitors fan operation and chassis temperature providing both an audible alarm and contact closure output.

A door covers and protects the drives. Accessible behind the door is the power and reset switches as well as the power-on and drive activity LED's and USB extension ports. The LED's are visible through the door when it is closed.

The E7 Chassis provides for mounting a standard EATX motherboard up to 12 x 13-inches. Three plug-in cards can be installed using the included riser card. Additionally, several riser card options are available.

Power supply options include redundant and non-redundant and a power supply up to 300mm long will easily fit.
