The E5 Series chassis is a high performance
design in a low cost 2U rackmount enclosure.
Feature rich, the E5 Series is a solid,
robust design which will meet the most
rigorous and demanding requirements.
This chassis is ideal for high density
I/O intensive applications.
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.
The E5 provides
for one externally accessible 5-1/4
inch and one 3-1/2 inch drive bays.
In addition, four hot swap IDE drives
provide for a large amount of low cost
IDE drive space. The IDE drives can
easily be configured for a large RAID.
The E5 is ideal for cost sensitive data
intensive or mission critical applications.
The chassis is
cooled by four 80mm 42CFM ball bearing
fans. Air flow is in through a front
mounted air filter. The fans are mounted
mid-chassis to help cool the drives.
A thermal management card monitors fan
operation and chassis temperature providing
both an audible alarm and contact closure
output.
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.
The E5 Chassis
provides for mounting a standard EATX
motherboard up to 12 x 13-inches. Two
plug-in cards can be installed using
the included riser card. Additionally,
several riser card options are available.
