help Supermicro SuperChassis 836 Series FAQ

How many drives can a Supermicro SuperChassis 836 hold?

Many SC836 configurations support up to sixteen 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA drives in a 3U chassis. Exact drive support depends on the backplane and the specific SC836 model.

Is the SuperChassis 836 a complete server?

No. It is a rackmount chassis that requires a compatible motherboard, processors, memory, storage controller, power supplies, and other components. Supermicro documents support for dual-socket server boards in the SC836 platform.

What does hot swap mean in the SC836?

The hot-swap drive bays allow a failed compatible drive to be replaced while the server remains powered, assuming the storage controller and RAID or operating-system setup support that operation. This is intended to reduce service interruption during drive maintenance.

How much rack space does the SuperChassis 836 use?

The SC836 is a 3U rackmount chassis. It is designed for dense storage servers, but it is not a system that contains six independent dual-socket servers as a single chassis.
