CSE-217HQ-R1400B Supermicro Rack 2U Server Chassis

High-Density 2U Multi-Node Rack Server Chassis featuring 4 independent nodes with the CSE-217HQ-R1400B

The CSE-217HQ-R1400B is a 2U Supermicro SuperChassis engineered for dense scale-out compute where 4 independent server nodes share power and cooling to maximize rack-level efficiency. Designed for modern CPU platforms and accelerator-capable node designs via its proprietary multi-node motherboard form factor, the CSE-217HQ-R1400B supports enterprise virtualization clusters and distributed services that benefit from consistent node symmetry and simplified lifecycle management.

For memory and I/O planning, the CSE-217HQ-R1400B targets balanced per-node configurations with predictable expansion paths, enabling PCIe-based networking and storage controllers appropriate for east-west traffic and cluster fabrics. Storage is optimized for OS/boot plus local cache: each node provides 6 x 2.5in hot-swap bays with SAS/SATA support, with SES2 enclosure services for operational visibility and integration into standard monitoring workflows, reducing service risk during drive replacements.

Why Choose the CSE-217HQ-R1400B?

The CSE-217HQ-R1400B delivers a strong density-to-performance ratio by consolidating 4 nodes into 2U while maintaining clear fault domains per node, enabling scalable deployments that expand in consistent increments. With redundant 1U power supplies and service-friendly hot-swap storage, the CSE-217HQ-R1400B aligns with enterprise uptime requirements and supports straightforward capacity and compute scaling across racks and zones.

Supermicro designs the CSE-217HQ-R1400B with a focus on data centre operability, emphasizing validated thermal behavior, predictable service procedures, and platform consistency suited to standardized builds. Features such as intrusion detection support and robust cooling modules reflect an engineering approach built for controlled environments and long-term fleet maintenance.
