Chenbro RM24100 and RM24200: Flexible and Reliable IPC Chassis

Taipei, Taiwan—February 19, 2013—Chenbro today unveils two 2U 18” industrial server chassis RM24100 and RM24200 that feature flexibility, reliability, and easy maintenance for surveillance and other versatile applications in the industries.

Industrial servers mainly bear missions of process control and data acquisition in a plant. Usually 19-inch rackmount form factor and the equipped motherboards size always differ, they are considered more rugged and with more diverse configurations than typical servers. Furthermore, a short depth design can take advantage as they are often placed in a small cabinet or a crowded control room.

The RM24100 can accommodate an ATX motherboard and equip one 5.25” and one 3.5” exposed drive bays and two 3.5” and two 2.5” internal drive bays. The front-located power supply unit provides the maximum space for high-spec motherboard installation, and the 3-slot full height or 7-slot low profile modular rear window allows installation of more add-on cards for more functionality. Two-piece front door is optional and with detachable air filter. The RM24200, on the other hand, can accommodate a Micro ATX motherboard and 4 expansion slots on the rear window. The built-in three drive cages in front supply rooms for one slim ODD and one 5.25” external bay, one 3.5” and one 5.25” external bays, and two 2.5” internal bays, respectively, which delivers the maximized configuration flexibility and makes RM24200 ideal for users with more storage and backup demands. Two-piece front door is optional and with detachable air filter.

RM24100 and RM24200 use a delicate in-line layout of components which has been analyzed by a series of sophisticated computation. As a result, one 80mm front fan and one 80mm rear fan can easily satisfy the ventilation needs of RM24100 and RM24200, respectively. Surely, there are optional fans for higher thermal issues. Besides, all the hard drive holders are anti-vibration cushion attached to ensure the reliability of these systems. Chenbro has put as much efforts on technology as on ergonomics. Users find icons of screw drivers for installation instruction as well as plastic finger guard on the fans on RM24100 and RM24200. The notch design on the chassis makes lots easier installation of detachable drive bays.

RM24100 and RM24200 are especially suitable for critical applications in surveillance, telecommunication, and healthcare industries, where extra video cards and graphic cards are necessary for advanced image process. Transportation computers in vessels, trains, and satellite-news-gathering vehicles can benefit from their small form factor as well. The launch of RM24100 and RM24200 enriches Chenbro’s current product line on 2U industrial server chassis. The adoption of standard specifications on the motherboards, power supply units, and 5.25” external bay further allows an easy buildup of an economical IPC server that really meets hazardous working requirement.
