Salient Features

    "...blade-server vendors aim to enmesh customers inside a highly proprietary environment." -John Edwards, CIO Magazine

  • Our ATXBlade utilizes non-proprietary technology and will not lock you into a unwanted long-term relationship
  • Six 120 mm rear exhaust fans (88 CFM each) and strategically placed venting ports ensures a constant draft of airflow through the chassis
  • The top and bottom venting grids allow multiple airflow pathways. A high powered heat vacuum may be installed on top of the cluster stack for a redundant source of ventilation.
  • Motherboard I/O interface is front mounted, allowing easy access for cabling
  • Supports Intel 3.4 GHz P4 and 3.2 Ghz Dual Xeon processors
  • Chassis can be used as a stand-alone cabinet if not rackmounted
  • Supports 1U height ATX and MicroATX motherboards
