Server Supermicro SuperChassis 216BAC4-R1K23LPB Rack Black 1200 W

The Supermicro SuperChassis 216BAC4-R1K23LPB Rack Black 1200 W is a 1U rack-mount server chassis engineered for space-efficient deployments. It accepts 2.5" HDDs, integrates a 1200 W power supply, and offers a compact footprint with dimensions of 437 mm width, 630 mm depth and 89 mm height. The design focuses on serviceability and compatibility with enterprise-class server components, making it suitable for standard rack environments and dense server configurations.

Advantages

The chassis delivers a high-power 1200 W PSU that supports demanding workloads while maintaining a small 1U profile. Support for 2.5" drives enables higher drive densities and compatibility with modern NVMe/SAS/SATA form factors. Its compact dimensions reduce rack space requirements, and the Supermicro build provides robust mechanical construction and airflow considerations for reliable operation in data center conditions.

Suitable for

• Enterprise rack servers in data centers
• Storage-dense deployments using 2.5" drives
• Virtualization hosts and compute nodes
• Edge or colocation installations with limited rack space

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mount chassis
• Supported drive size: 2.5 inch
• Power supply: 1200 W integrated unit
• External dimensions (W x D x H): 437 mm x 630 mm x 89 mm
• Color: Black
• Cable and component access optimized for rack serviceability

How to use

Install the chassis into a standard 19-inch rack using the appropriate mounting rails or brackets. Populate supported 2.5" drives into the drive bays and connect any backplane or drive cables as required by your motherboard and controller configuration. Connect the 1200 W power supply to a compatible PDU or power source, ensuring proper grounding and power distribution. Configure installed server components (motherboard, CPU, memory, RAID/controller cards) following vendor instructions and verify thermal and airflow clearances within the rack.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain proper rack airflow and allow front-to-back cooling paths. Use enterprise-grade 2.5" drives matched to your workload (SAS/NVMe/SATA) and ensure the power budget is sufficient for installed components. Regularly inspect drive trays and power connections for secure seating and plan maintenance windows for firmware or hardware updates to minimize service disruption.
