Server case Supermicro CSE-826BAC12-R1K23LPB Rack Black 1200 W

The Supermicro CSE-826BAC12-R1K23LPB Rack Black 1200 W is a 2U server chassis engineered to maximize storage capacity while fitting standard rack environments. It provides twelve hot-swappable drive bays compatible with 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives and integrates a 1200 W redundant power supply. The chassis balances dense internal layout with airflow management by using three 80 mm front fans and an optimized interior design for server-class cooling.

Advantages

This 2U rack case increases storage density by supporting twelve hot-swap HDD/SSD bays and accepts both 2.5" and 3.5" drives. The included 1200 W power supply supports reliable operation and redundant configurations. A compact 437 mm x 647 mm x 89 mm footprint fits standard racks while three front 80 mm fans and an engineered airflow path maintain cooling without sacrificing drive capacity.

Suitable for

• Data storage servers and backup appliances
• Small to medium-sized NAS and archival systems
• High-density disk arrays and data logging applications

Key specifications

• Model: Supermicro CSE-826BAC12-R1K23LPB

How to use

Install the chassis into a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate rail kits or mounting hardware. Populate the hot-swap bays with compatible 2.5" or 3.5" drives and secure drive carriers as required. Connect the power supply to redundant mains sources if redundancy is desired. Configure server components (motherboard, controller cards, and cabling) inside the chassis following Supermicro installation guidelines and verify that intake airflow from the front fans is unobstructed for optimal cooling.

Recommendations

Place the chassis in a well-ventilated rack location with at least the front intake and rear exhaust areas clear. Use appropriate RAID or storage controller configurations for large-capacity arrays and ensure regular monitoring of drive temperatures and power supply status to maintain reliability.
