iStarUSA D-400-7P Chassis

The iStarUSA D-400-7P is a rugged 4U industrial rackmount chassis engineered to power demanding servers, clusters, and edge deployments. Designed for reliability in data centers and remote sites, it delivers scalable storage, expansive PCIe expansion, and straightforward maintenance. When paired with BPU or T Series modules, the D-400-7P unlocks hot-swappable storage capabilities, enabling you to swap drives without downtime and keep your operations running smoothly. This chassis supports up to seven add-on cards and a total drive capacity of up to nine storage devices, making it a versatile foundation for RAID 1/0/5 configurations and data-intensive workloads.

  • 4U industrial rackmount design delivers a sturdy, professional platform built to endure continuous operation in harsh environments and data center environments alike.
  • Hot-swappable storage capability when combined with BPU or T Series modules, allowing maintenance, upgrades, and drive replacement without interrupting system uptime.
  • Up to 9 storage drives to maximize capacity and performance, with support for common RAID levels (1/0/5) to balance redundancy and speed for your workloads.
  • Seven add-on card slots provide expansive PCIe capacity for NICs, SAS controllers, GPUs, or other expansion cards, enabling robust server configurations in a single chassis.
  • Industrial-grade build with efficient cooling and optimized airflow to protect drives and components, maintain stable temperatures, and extend component life in 24/7 operations.

How to install iStarUSA D-400-7P Chassis

Installing the D-400-7P is designed to be straightforward for IT technicians and data center staff. Follow these steps to prepare the chassis, install drives and expansion cards, and configure power and data connections for reliable operation.

  • Power down all equipment and disconnect from power sources. Ground yourself and work on a static-free surface to prevent component damage.
  • Mount the chassis into a standard server rack, align with mounting rails, and secure with screws to ensure stability and proper airflow clearance.
  • Install drives into the drive bays and connect them to the appropriate backplane or hot-swap modules. If using hot-swappable operation, ensure BPU or T Series modules are correctly installed and configured.
  • Insert PCIe expansion cards into the available slots, seating them firmly and securing with screws. Verify there are no obstructions and that airflow pathways remain unobstructed.
  • Connect data cables (e.g., SAS/SATA or PCIe cables as required by your backplane and controllers) and power cables, then organize cables to optimize airflow and accessibility for maintenance.
  • Power on the system and enter BIOS/RAID configuration to initialize drives and set up the desired RAID level (1/0/5). Confirm that the operating system recognizes all drives and that hot-swappable pathways operate as intended when using BPU/T Series modules.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Is the iStarUSA D-400-7P compatible with hot-swappable storage when not using BPU/T Series?
    A: Hot-swappable storage capability is designed to be used when paired with BPU or T Series modules. Without these modules, traditional non-hot-swappable operation applies.
  • Q: How many drives can the D-400-7P support and what RAID levels are available?
    A: The chassis supports up to nine drives in total and can be configured for RAID 1, RAID 0, or RAID 5 depending on the backplane and controller you install.
  • Q: How many PCIe expansion slots are available?
    A: The D-400-7P offers up to seven add-on PCIe card slots, enabling extensive network, storage, and acceleration hardware in a single chassis.
  • Q: What environments is this chassis best suited for?
    A: It is ideal for industrial servers, data centers, edge computing, labs, and remote sites requiring reliable 4U form factor, expandable storage, and robust cooling.
  • Q: What material is used for construction?
    A: The D-400-7P uses industrial-grade steel to ensure durability, rigidity, and long-term reliability in demanding deployments.
