Chenbro RB23708The Chenbro RB23708 is pre-tested for compatibility and long-term reliability with the pre-installed Intel S2600WFTR Server Board. In addition, users have the choice of 8X 3.5-inch or 8X 2.5-inch hot-swap storage bays, the former configuration which offers two 2.5-inch internal bays and the option to outfit it with a slim optical ODD bay.

Also included is a premium 800W CRPS 80Plus Platinum grade PSU, which uses optimized cable routing and six hot-swap 17K RPM cooling fans that cool CPUs up to 165W each, the high-performance PCI-Express expansion cards, and all storage hardware. Moreover, it features 24X ECC UDIMM 2933MT/s slots for a maximum total of 7.5TB of RAM as well as two 10GbE via RJ45 ports and one remote management port.  The Chenbro RB23708 uses a tool-less design for all upgrades and maintenance, such as storage, HDD trays, system fans, and PCI-Express riser brackets.

Branding customization is also available, as the server case can be modified to customer specifications, including personalized silkscreens, logo plates, and tailor-made bezels. Chenbro’s server customization services also support requests from System Integrators and MSPs.
