Supermicro CSE-825MTQ-R700LPB

The Supermicro CSE-825MTQ-R700LPB is a 2U rackmount chassis engineered for high-availability and continuous operation environments. It integrates redundant power, hot-swap drive bays and a SAS/SATA 6Gb/s backplane to support demanding server configurations.

Key technical parameters

• Form factor: 2U rackmount chassis
• Power supply capacity: 700 W total
• Redundant power: YES – dual power supply configuration
• Number of power supplies: 2
• Energy efficiency: 80 Plus
• Drive bay type: 3.5" (option to install 2.5" drives with additional adapter)
• Number of hot-swap drive bays: 3
• Backplane: SAS/SATA 6Gb/s
• Manufacturer warranty: 36 months

Power and availability

• Redundant 700W PSU improves system availability by allowing operation in case of a single PSU failure.
• 80 Plus efficiency helps reduce power losses and heat output compared to non-certified units.
• Dual PSU design enables connection to separate power sources for higher power path resilience, depending on the system configuration.

Storage and backplane

• Three 3.5" hot-swap bays allow drive replacement without shutting down the system, which is critical for service continuity.
• SAS/SATA 6Gb/s backplane supports common enterprise and nearline HDD/SSD interfaces at up to 6Gb/s link speed.
• 2.5" drive support via adapter provides flexibility to use smaller form factor drives where required. The adapter is not included unless explicitly specified.

Operational benefits

• Designed for continuous operation scenarios where uptime and serviceability are key selection criteria.
• Tool-less access depends on configuration; specific mounting and service procedures are determined by the chosen components and rack environment.
• 36-month manufacturer warranty provides long-term support and predictable lifecycle planning.

This chassis is suitable for building servers that require redundant power and hot-swap storage in a 2U form factor. Detailed compatibility with motherboards, cooling components and additional accessories should be verified in the official Supermicro documentation before deployment.
