The A2000 Series chassis is a high performance design in a low cost 6U rackmount enclosure. Feature rich, the A2000 Series is a solid, robust design which will meet the most rigorous and demanding requirements. This chassis is ideal for I/O intensive applications such as telephony, data acquisition, Digital Video Recording (DVR), high density web server, back office server, firewall, proxy server and VPN gateway applications including collocation. The enclosure is constructed of 18 gauge steel, clear zinc plated for corrosion protection and an attractive appearance. The front panel is attractively detailed and is of heavier gauge than the chassis. There is a huge amount of drive space with the seven front accessible 5-1/4" drive bays. This allows for a low cost RAID implementation using SCSI or ATA drives. One external 3.5 inch drive is also available.

A door covers and protects the drives. Accessible behind the door is the power and reset switches as well as the power-on and drive activity LED's. The LED's are visible through the door when it is closed. Cooling is provided by four 90mm 51CFM hot swap fans. The thermal management board monitors fan operation. The A2000 Chassis provides for mounting a 20-slot passive backplane. A wide variety of backplanes are available offering different mixes of ISA and PCI slots. Depending on the CPU selection, up to 19 plug-in cards can be installed. The chassis is designed to accomodate split backplanes offering support for up to 4 splits. Power is provided by rear mounted PS/2 style power supply. Several power supply options are available including redundant power.
