Supermicro's SCF418 "Fat Twin" chassis is designed to optimize performance per Watt and per dollar with up to eight independent hot-pluggable DP computing nodes, efficiently organized into a 4U form factor. Each node provides hot-swappable and/ or fixed hard drives for RAID 5 data protection, and is contained in a convenient module to facilitate easy system upgrades, installation and maintenance. See be- low for the hard drive configuration of your particular SCF418 chassis model. The SCF418 chassis is equipped with high-efficiency optional 1 + 1 Platinum Level redundant power supplies (95%), on each side, for a total of four power supplies, with a power-efficient server board and optimized cooling subsystems. The Fat Twin is the best choice for HPC, datacenter and cost-effective blade-type applications.
