Greetings all
I know this is a JBOD Chassis. But is it possible to install an EATX 13x13 MB or ATX MB?
Does it have enough CPU 8 PIN Power connectors?
Are the MB mounting holes aligned with the Case?
Can you suggest a 120mm Fan wall replacement?
The Control Panel Connecter is it compatible with Supermicro Motherboards?

Thanks in advance

The standoff appear to be correct for ATX or EATX.
Not sure about the 8 Pin power. I don't see them.
For Dual CPU board you would need two. They might be wire-tied in the bundle and not visible in pix I see.

Is the front panel cable correct? That is a good question. SuperMicro is consistent with FP so I would bet its OK.

The Aspeed BMC module looks modular with four screws. Back Window looks correct as do slots.

I assume its 1K power modules so don't go crazy with other load. 36 drives would need some kick at bootup..

Based on the pictures here you can probably reuse the drive cabling.


Four SFF-8643 from the backplanes.

Can you suggest a 120mm Fan wall replacement?
Why this is a standard server setup.... I assume you are talking about the 3 fans mid-chassis?

Depending on cooling solution you might want to look into an air shroud for CSE-846.
These direct air from the two fans above IO shield window from the CPU's.
