Handling servers can come with a lot of headaches. You need to worry about overheating, performance reduction, service interruptions, and whatnot. However, you can’t always blame the devices. The storage serve case or chassis you’re using can also cause these problems. Rolling out on the wrong server isn’t as uncommon as you may think. It happens quite often. Whether it’s a short-sighted administrator, a penny-pincher client, or a budget-conscious manager, these people usually end up making costly mistakes. Then again, in many instances, technicians find the root of the problem within the chassis. If you’re going to buy a new one, this write-up will come in handy. If nothing else, the information provided here will prevent you from making the same mistakes.
The size • This one is the first and most obvious point of consideration. You have to select a server case based on where you’ll mount it. Will you be mounting it on an existing rack, or is it a free-standing machine? Usually, system builders pack servers with all accompanying peripherals in an industry-standard mid-tower case, which isn’t a worthwhile idea at all. At a height of 17 inches and a width of 8 inches, a mid-tower ATX case will support only 3 to 6 5-and-a-quarter-inch bays and a pair of 3-and-a-half-inch bays. These towers generally have 7 expansion card slots but just one PS/2 power supply. Full towers with a height of 24 inches and a width of 8 inches can support 4 to 9 5-and-a-quarter-inch bays and 6 to 12 3-and-a-half-inch bays. With the latter, you can install double the number of hard disks.
The power • After the size of the storage server case, you should look into the power-related matters. If a server has to support several components, including CPUs, network adapters, PCIe cards, and hard disks, it will need more electricity to work properly. While it can be a bit difficult to determine the amount of power a server needs, full tower variants require 300 to 800-watt power supply systems. 1U server racks often feature 350 to 400-watt power supplies, and at times, they may also have 600-watt units. A 2U chassis, on the other hand, can support twin 600 to 750-watt PSUs. You shouldn’t have any problem as long as you choose a chassis with a power supply unit that can cater to your anticipated requirements.
The speed • At first glance, a server case may not seem like something that can dictate performance, backplane, or the speed at which the machine operates applications or answers requests. However, if the case can’t support multiple network adapters, an adequate number of CPUs, or an appropriate memory configuration, it will end up with a bottlenecked server. Naturally, you need to choose a product based on the number of CPUs, network adapters, disks, and other components it can support. • Assembling without tools • Don’t forget to read the user manual and technical specifications to ascertain whether the chassis includes tool-less hard disk trays, CD or DVD drive replacements, or fan modules. When you have to handle the task of replacing a malfunctioning or destroyed component or adding a new drive, you don’t want to complicate the process by having to pinpoint the necessary tools. • Resource Link: https://bit.ly/3u1IgXM
