Supermicro CSE-514-505 1U Short Depth Chassis 500W Platinum

PRODUCT DETAILS:

The Supermicro CSE-514-505 is a specialized 1U rackmount chassis engineered for space-constrained enterprise environments and edge computing deployments. Distinguished by its ultra-short depth of just 16.9 inches, this enclosure solves critical density challenges in compact racks, wall-mount cabinets, and embedded appliance setups where standard depth servers cannot fit. Despite its compact footprint, it delivers uncompromising performance potential with support for dual-processor E-ATX motherboards, making it an ideal foundation for high-performance firewalls, virtualization nodes, and industrial control systems. Power efficiency is central to its design, featuring a pre-installed 500W Platinum Level power supply that operates at 93% efficiency to reduce thermal load and operational costs. The chassis offers flexible internal storage configurations, accommodating either four 2.5-inch SSDs or a single 3.5-inch drive, ensuring versatility for various storage needs. With optimized thermal management via high-performance PWM fans, the CSE-514-505 provides a robust, reliable platform for mission-critical hardware in non-traditional data center locations.
