The B2 Series chassis is a high performance
design in a low cost 5U rackmount enclosure.
Feature rich, the B2 Series is a solid,
robust design which will meet the most
rigorous and demanding requirements.
This chassis is ideal for high density
web server, back office server, firewall,
proxy server and VPN gateway applications
including collocation.
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.
There is a huge
amount of drive space with the four
front accessible 5-1/4" drive bays.
This allows for a low cost RAID implementation
using SCSI or ATA drives. One external
3.5 inch drive is also available.

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. The LED's are visible through
the door when it is closed.
Cooling is provided
by four fans 90mm 51CFM hot swap fans.
Alternatively, three 120mm 90CFM fans
can be installed. The fans provide tach
signals for failure detection by the
motherboard.
The B2 Chassis
provides for mounting a standard EATX
motherboard up to 12 x 13 inches Seven
plug-in cards can be installed.
Power is provided
by dual full-sized front accessible
redundant supplies. Front accessibility
of the power and drives means very low
MTTR in the event of a component failure.
