Supermicro CSE-514-R407C 1U Short Depth Rackmount Chassis

PRODUCT DETAILS:

The Supermicro CSE-514-R407C is a specialized 1U rackmount chassis engineered for space-constrained enterprise environments that require high availability and density. Distinguished by its ultra-short depth of just 16.9 inches, this enclosure enables deployment in compact wall-mount cabinets, edge computing nodes, and legacy racks where standard depth servers cannot fit. Despite its compact footprint, the chassis supports full-size Extended ATX (E-ATX) motherboards, allowing for dual-processor configurations and significant compute power. Reliability is central to this design, featuring dual 400W Platinum Level redundant power supplies. This redundancy ensures continuous operation for mission-critical appliances, a feature rarely found in short-depth chassis. The thermal design utilizes four heavy-duty 40mm counter-rotating PWM fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures for high-performance components. With support for two internal 2.5-inch fixed drives and a full-height expansion slot, the CSE-514-R407C offers a balanced architecture for networking appliances, firewall servers, and virtualization nodes requiring enterprise-grade uptime in a minimal physical footprint.
