How to choose a server chassis


For server chassis selection, heat dissipation, redundancy, and reliability are the three indispensable elements. An excellent server chassis must have outstanding performance in these three aspects, and PC chassis is very important The appearance is useless on the server chassis.


Server chassis, first of all, the server requires 24 hours of operation for many years, so the requirements for system stability even exceed performance. Heat is the number one enemy for the long-term stable operation of the mainframe. In the small space of rack-mounted servers, there are also high-frequency CPUs, dedicated memory and 10,000-rpm SCSI hard disks. In this case, the server chassis is usually equipped with multiple large-diameter turbofans to ensure the air circulation in the front and rear directions of the chassis and remove heat in time. Professional server cases are specially equipped with redundant fans. When a fan stops rotating or the speed is too low during operation, the backup fan can immediately start to replace the failed fan to ensure the normal heat dissipation of the system.

Regardless of PC or server, power supply is a well-deserved source of power. As the heart of the entire system, the professional server chassis will also adopt a redundant power supply design. When one power supply fails or the input pressure is abnormal, the other power supply will immediately take over its work automatically to ensure the normal operation of the system.

Secondly, the materials used for the server chassis are also very important. The thickness of the steel plate and the quality of the materials directly reflect the ability to shield electromagnetic interference and ensure the stable operation of the system.
