CSE-SAS-813TQ

The CSE-SAS-813TQ is a 1U rackmount chassis engineered for environments that require dense, front-accessible storage in a compact form factor. It is designed around a SAS backplane, enabling connection of multiple drives through a centralized interface for improved cable management and system organization.

This chassis is suitable for use in data centers, lab infrastructures and enterprise IT rooms where space efficiency, serviceability and predictable airflow are critical. Its 1U height allows high rack density, making it appropriate for scale-out deployments such as virtualization clusters, edge compute nodes or storage appliances.

• Compact 1U form factor – Enables high rack density and efficient use of vertical space in standard 19-inch racks.
• SAS backplane integration – Centralizes drive connectivity to simplify cabling and support structured storage configurations, depending on the selected controller and drives.
• Front-accessible drives – Facilitates faster maintenance and drive replacement without reworking the entire rack layout.
• Optimized airflow path – The 1U layout is designed to support front-to-back cooling, aligning with typical data center airflow patterns.
• Flexible integration – Can be used as a base for a range of server or storage configurations, depending on the chosen motherboard, power supply and controller hardware.

When configuring a system with the CSE-SAS-813TQ, it is recommended to match the chassis with compatible SAS controllers and drives specified by your platform vendor. Proper airflow planning, including matching fan performance and rack-level cooling, will help maintain stable operating conditions under sustained workloads.

For optimal results, combine this chassis with enterprise-grade components and follow your organization’s standards for cable management, redundancy and monitoring to create a robust, serviceable platform for storage or compute-intensive applications.
