SilverStone Unveils RM600 and RM61-312 Rackmount Workstation Chassis
SilverStone’s venture into rackmount workstation chassis with liquid cooling radiator support has opened new horizons for server infrastructure design, setting a precedent for enhanced cooling efficiency and adaptability. The RM600 exemplifies this pioneering spirit. Boasting a 6U height and 19-inch rackmount form factor, it offers unparalleled flexibility by integrating not one, not two, but a total three sets of 360 mm radiator support into its comprehensive design.
At the core of the RM600 is a meticulously crafted design that prioritizes functionally, durability, and usability. It features a removable front panel with strategically placed perforations to optimize airflow without compromising performance. Front I/O ports, including 1x USB Type-C and 2x USB Type-A, are easily accessible upon panel removal.
Internally, the RM600 features a dual-chamber design. The top chamber, equivalent to a total of 4U height, can accommodate a wide range of motherboard form factors, including up to SSI-EEB, ensuring compatibility with diverse server-grade components. With 8 PCI expansion slots, the chassis supports multiple expansion card configurations of up to 340 mm in length. Additionally, fan/radiator mounts on all sides of the chassis, coupled with dedicated radiator installation points, offer exceptional thermal management capabilities.
The bottom chamber, utilizing the remaining 2U height, houses 3 storage drive cages and dual PSU support mounts. It features a full perforation panel, along with three 120 mm fan mounts, providing exceptional intake airflow to cool the bottom chamber components.
Distinguishing itself from the RM600, the RM61-312 incorporates 12 drive trays at the front of the chassis, occupying the bottom 2U height. These trays support both 2.5″ SSDs and 3.5″ HDDs, each capable of operating in 12G-SAS or 6G-SATA format. This functionality is achieved through an internal backplane connected to the back of the drive tray module, equipped with 12 Gb/s Mini-SAS HD SFF8643 connectors and SGPIO compatibility. The hot-swappable design of the drive trays ensures seamless maintenance and adaptability to changing storage requirements. Additionally, each drive tray includes a dedicated LED indicator that displays the operational status of individual drives.
Due to the demanding nature of industrial server applications, alongside the release of the RM600 and RM61-312, optional accessories will be available to upgrade and enhance the performance of internal components. These accessories are tailored to meet the dynamic needs of users, ensuring optimal functionality and reliability in even the most rigorous server environments.
In conclusion, the RM600 and RM61-312 represent a paradigm shift in server chassis design, offering unparalleled cooling performance, storage flexibility, and adaptability. SilverStone’s commitment to innovation sets a new standard for excellence in the industry, providing users with a compelling solution for their server infrastructure needs.
