CSE-827HD-R1400B Supermicro Rack 2U Server Chassis

High-Density 2U Multi-Node Rack Chassis featuring four independent hot-plug compute nodes with the CSE-827HD-R1400B

The CSE-827HD-R1400B is a 2U Twin2 multi-node chassis engineered to consolidate 4 independent dual-socket server nodes into a shared infrastructure footprint, optimising rack density without coupling failure domains. CPU generation, memory topology, and node-level management are defined by the installed node boards, allowing platform alignment to your standardised Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC node designs while retaining a consistent mechanical and power architecture.

For I/O and expansion, the CSE-827HD-R1400B is designed to expose PCIe capabilities through the selected node modules, enabling per-node NIC, HBA, or accelerator choices where required by the workload. Storage is architected around 12 x 3.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA bays presented as 3 drives per node, supporting per-node local RAID sets for resilient datastore placement and predictable performance isolation. Shared, chassis-level power is delivered by 2 x 1400W redundant 1U PSUs, and hot-pluggable nodes plus hot-swap drive bays reduce maintenance windows in operational environments.

Why Choose the CSE-827HD-R1400B?

The CSE-827HD-R1400B targets environments where node independence, serviceability, and density-to-performance ratio drive TCO, such as virtualisation clusters and scale-out services. By combining redundant shared power with isolated compute domains, the CSE-827HD-R1400B scales cleanly in 2U increments, simplifies spares strategy, and supports staged node refresh cycles while maintaining consistent chassis operations.

Supermicro designs the platform with data centre service workflows in mind, combining standardized mechanical engineering, validated redundant power, and hot-swap elements that align with modern rack integration and uptime requirements. With the CSE-827HD-R1400B, chassis-level infrastructure remains stable while node configurations can be adapted to changing CPU, memory, and storage controller standards.

Key Applications:

• Virtualisation clusters
• Scale-out private cloud
• Multi-tenant enterprise hosting
• Edge and regional compute with local RAID
• Storage-heavy node deployments
