CSE-847BE1C12-R1K68LPB4 Supermicro Rack 4U Server Chassis

High-Density 4U Storage-Optimised Rack Chassis featuring 36x hot-swap bays with the CSE-847BE1C12-R1K68LPB4

CSE-847BE1C12-R1K68LPB4 is a 4U rackmount storage chassis engineered to host modern server platforms while prioritising predictable, serviceable capacity scaling. Supporting ATX, Micro-ATX, and E-ATX motherboards (system configuration dependent), it enables current-generation CPU and memory architectures to be paired with a front-loaded drive plane optimised for high HDD counts and sustained sequential throughput.

The CSE-847BE1C12-R1K68LPB4 integrates a 36 x 3.5in hot-swap SAS/SATA backplane designed for enterprise expanders, HBA-based storage nodes, and RAID configurations where PCIe lane allocation is reserved for high-port-count SAS controllers, NVMe cache tiers, or high-bandwidth networking. The internal layout supports clean cabling paths and airflow discipline, reducing thermal variance across densely packed drive populations and improving rebuild behaviour in degraded arrays.

Why Choose the CSE-847BE1C12-R1K68LPB4?

CSE-847BE1C12-R1K68LPB4 delivers a strong density-to-serviceability profile for scale-out storage, consolidating large-capacity tiers into a single 4U footprint without sacrificing hot-swap access. Its redundant 1+1 1600W power architecture and chassis intrusion detection align with enterprise reliability requirements, while the standardized motherboard support simplifies repeatable deployments across clustered nodes.

Supermicro designs this platform with data-centre operability in mind: modular components, consistent backplane integration, and validated power and cooling subsystems that fit established rack, cabling, and maintenance standards for long-life infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• Enterprise HDD storage tiers and JBOD-style deployments
• Software-defined storage (Ceph, vSAN OSA, scale-out object/file)
• Backup and archive repositories
• Media and content storage
• High-capacity nearline retention nodes
