2U Server - 3 x Hot-Swap Bays - Redundant Power

This is a unique take on traditional 2U server design. Despite being the shortest 2U server with redundant power supplies, the system offers plenty of versatility and power. The three hot-swap bays for easy drive access, and low-profile PCIe slots for expanded capabilities. Throw in a Xeon Scalable processor and you've got quite a power house system.

Key Features
  • Short Depth
  • Redundant Power
