Description

Supermicro SuperChassis 815TQC-R706WB2

The Supermicro SuperChassis 815TQC-R706WB2 is a compact, yet fiercely capable 1U rack-mount chassis engineered for demanding data center, edge, and storage deployments. Built to support WIO (Work IO) and EATX motherboards, this chassis offers flexible motherboard compatibility, scalable storage options, and robust cooling designed to keep high-performance components operating reliably in tight environments. With a pre-installed 750W power supply, a rugged black enclosure, and thoughtfully arranged drive bays and expansion slots, the 815TQC-R706WB2 is a versatile foundation for servers, network appliances, hyperconverged nodes, and storage gateways. The chassis is tuned for efficient airflow, enabling stable operation under sustained workloads while preserving energy efficiency and manageable acoustics in rack rooms or remote sites. Whether you’re building a compact data center, a dense server rack, or a high-use lab environment, this Supermicro chassis delivers the resilience, accessibility, and performance needed to power modern enterprise workloads.

  • 1U Rack-Mount Form Factor with Pre-Installed 750W Power Supply: A space-efficient, server-grade enclosure designed to maximize density in data centers, labs, and edge locations. The included 750W PSU provides reliable, steady power for storage drives and PCIe cards, helping to minimize downtime and simplify procurement and deployment for new-node rollouts.
  • Broad Motherboard Support: WIO and EATX Compatibility: The chassis is designed to accommodate Work IO (WIO) and Extended ATX (EATX) motherboards, giving you flexible options for CPU, memory, and expansion requirements. This broad compatibility makes it suitable for a range of use cases—from high-core-count compute nodes to storage-centric appliances.
  • Advanced Cooling with Counter-Rotation PWM Fans: Four 40x56mm PWM fans are arranged to optimize airflow through the chassis, delivering effective cooling for front-to-back heat dissipation while helping to keep noise levels in check in shared facilities. The counter-rotating design helps balance air pressure and reduces hot spots around critical components.
  • Four External 3.5" Drive Bays for Flexible Storage: The chassis provides four external 3.5-inch drive bays to support common storage configurations and easy maintenance. This layout simplifies drive installation, replacement, and expansion, making it ideal for storage servers, media gateways, or network-attached compute nodes that require accessible, scalable storage options.
  • PCIe Expansion with Multiple Slot Configurations: Features a total of three PCIe expansion slots that include two full-height & full-length slots and one low-profile slot. This combination enables a broad range of add-ons—such as network interface cards, RAID controllers, or accelerator cards—while maintaining compact 1U dimensions for dense racks.

How to install Supermicro SuperChassis 815TQC-R706WB2

Follow these steps to assemble and deploy the 815TQC-R706WB2 in a standard 19-inch rack and integrate it with your chosen motherboard, drives, and PCIe add-ons. Each step emphasizes reliability, accessibility, and proper airflow to maximize longevity and performance.

  • Step 1: Prepare your rack space and hardware. Ensure you have a compatible 19-inch rack, rack screws, and a suitable mounting plan for the chassis. Verify that the operating climate and room ventilation meet the heat and noise requirements of your deployment.
  • Step 2: Install the chassis into the rack. Align mounting rails with the rack posts and secure the chassis using the appropriate screws. Confirm that the chassis sits level and that there is adequate clearance for front-access drives and rear cabling.
  • Step 3: Mount the motherboard. With the 815TQC-R706WB2, choose a compatible WIO or EATX motherboard and align it with the tray standoffs. Attach the motherboard using the correct screws, then route power and data cables to ensure clean routing and unobstructed airflow.
  • Step 4: Connect the power and cooling. Ensure the pre-installed 750W PSU is securely connected to the motherboard and power distribution board. Attach all necessary chassis fans to enable optimized airflow; verify PWM signal connections if required by your motherboard or fan controller.
  • Step 5: Install storage and PCIe add-ons. Insert the four external 3.5" drives into their bays and connect SATA/LSI/RAID controller cables as needed. Install PCIe cards into the two full-height/length slots and the one low-profile slot, making sure cards are seated and the slot latches close properly.
  • Step 6: Cable management and airflow check. Route cables along the sides or behind the motherboard tray to avoid obstructing the fans. Confirm that the front intake and rear exhaust paths are clear, and that there are no loose cables that could interfere with fans or hot components.
  • Step 7: Power on and validate. Power up the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI setup, and verify that all drives, fans, and PCIe devices are recognized. Install operating system or hypervisor as required and run a baseline stress test to confirm thermal margins and stability.
