CM73 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 CM73 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 of the CM73 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 CM73 one of the fastest 1U server available. Currently CM73 1U BTX server supports Intel Pentium D processor up to 3.4Ghz.

PERFORMANCE The latest generation of Intel® Pentium® D processor-based CM73 1U BTX systems feature new technologies such as Dual Core Technology and Dual-Channel DDR2 memory delivering robust performance. Because CM73 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. CM73 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). CM73 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.
