Both the SC825MTQ and SC523L series chassis save valuable space and energy while supporting 12“ x 13”/12“ x 10” standard DP serverboards, making them ideal solutions for IT environments where space and power are at a premium.

“Designed with our industry-leading approach to thermal management, cooling control, and high-efficiency power supplies, Supermicro short-depth 2U chassis are earth-friendly solutions that deliver significant energy savings to end-users,” asserts Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro. “As enterprises focus more and more on the importance of operational efficiency, these solutions are gaining popularity for a wide range of server applications.”
