CM72 1U BTX Dual Core system offers many advantages over the traditional 1U ATX design. Better thermal management and higher processor and I/O throughput are some of the key advantages.

THERMAL As the speed of processors increases, so does the need for a more efficient thermal management design. The CM72 1U BTX system offers thermal management solution based on the new Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) specification. The BTX design placed the heat generating components – such as CPU, memory chips and core chipset in-line with air flow. Since there are no more "dead corners", major heat generating components such as CPU and memory can be cooled more efficiently. Two powerful air blowes are strategicly placed at front and rear of the CM72 1U BTX server to move the cooler air in and hot air out. In addition, the new BTX 1U heatsink offers more surface area than traditional heatsinks. Better air flow and larger heatsink surface make CM72 one of the fastest 1U server available. Currently CM72 1U BTX server supports Intel Pentium D processor up to 3.4Ghz.

PERFORMANCE The latest generation of Intel® Pentium® D processor-based CM72 1U BTX systems feature new technologies such as Hyper-Threading Technology and Dual-Channel DDR2 memory delivering robust performance. Because CM72 1U BTX system have extra reserves of processing power, memory and PCI Express expansion slot, you won’t outgrow it as quickly as you do with traditional ATX platform, making it a better long-term technology investment.

CABINET COMPATIBILITY There are many different sizes of open frame racks and cabinets ranging from 13U to 47U in size to choose from. CM72 is designed to work with any rackmount cabinets comply with the EIA-310-D standard. You can use either square nuts or tap-hole screws for installation (cabinet screws are not included). CM70 comes with standard front mount L brackets. It can be used as a center mount bracet as well. You will need to use rear mount brackets (sold separately) if you have 4 post open frame racks or cabinets. You can also purchase a pair of SR02-GD24 sliding rails to further simplify your installation process.

Removable SATA Hard Drive CM72 comes with two removable SATA hard drive trays. It gives administrators the ability to replace defective hard drive in a snap. This feature reduces service and maintenance time for any administrators. You can have your system up and running in a flash.

Besides maintenance, CM72’s removable SATA hard drive tray can be use as the mean to secure data during an emergence. Since data stored in the hard drive are more important then any thing else. It is critical that you save the data first during an emergency such as fire, water, or other unforeseen events. By having a removable hard drive tray gives you the ability to safeguard your data quickly and easily.

More and more people are starting using hard drive as “data cartridge” for their data. Since today’s hard drive are larger, faster and cheaper per gigabyte. It makes perfect sense to use hard drive as “tape cartridge” for new generation of tape backup software. You can simple buy additional Removable SATA hard drive trays to use as “tape cartridge”. Remove the hard drive that is full with an empty hard drive. This type of setup is the most cost effective way to back up your important data.
