Discover the reliability, scalability, and density of the Supermicro SuperChassis 826TQ-R500LPB, a 2U, rack-mountable server chassis engineered for demanding data centers, virtualization hosts, and high-capacity storage deployments. Its black, professional enclosure houses a flexible drive architecture, robust power options, and generous expansion capabilities, making it an ideal foundation for enterprise-grade compute and storage solutions. Designed to support EATX motherboards and a wide range of PCIe cards, this chassis is perfect for multi-node configurations, software-defined storage, and dense computing clusters where uptime and expandability are non-negotiable. Whether you’re building a private cloud, a virtualized infrastructure, or a scalable NAS, the 826TQ-R500LPB delivers the space, cooling, and reliability to keep workloads running smoothly.

  • The heart of this chassis is its expansive storage capacity: 12 external 3.5" drive bays, providing ample room for large-scale storage, data archiving, and performance-intensive applications. The external drive bays simplify maintenance and upgrades, enabling rapid expansion without disassembly, and are ideal for NAS deployments, database-backed storage pools, and media libraries. Combined with a sturdy 2U footprint, you can deploy a dense storage array in a standard data center rack with predictable airflow and straightforward cable management.
  • Power and reliability are built into the design with two 500 W power supplies installed. This dual-PSU configuration supports redundancy for uptime-critical workloads and provides headroom for future growth as you add more drives, PCIe cards, or memory. In enterprise environments, redundant power helps minimize downtime during component failure and improves service continuity for virtualization hosts, business-critical servers, and large-scale file services.
  • Expansion and motherboard flexibility are at the core of the 826TQ-R500LPB’s value proposition. It features 7 expansion slots to accommodate PCIe cards such as NICs, RAID controllers, accelerators, or additional storage controllers. The chassis is designed to support EATX motherboards, enabling a broad selection of high-I/O configurations and future-proofing for evolving workloads. This makes it a versatile platform for virtualization clusters, multi-GPU compute nodes, or dense networking appliances in both on-premises and edge deployments.
  • Cooling is engineered to handle dense, high-performance configurations. Three 3.15" fans are installed at delivery, delivering essential airflow to CPUs, memory, and PCIe devices. The chassis also supports up to three additional fans, giving you the flexibility to optimize cooling for hotter workloads or expanded GPUs and NICs. With careful airflow design and routed cabling, you can minimize thermal bottlenecks and maintain steady performance under sustained load, which is critical for virtualization hosts and high-IO back-end services.
  • Form factor, build quality, and management readiness round out the package. The Black chassis combines rugged steel construction with precise assembly for reliable long-term operation in data centers, labs, or edge environments. Its 2U rack-mountable profile maximizes density without sacrificing serviceability, and the layout is conducive to clean cable management and straightforward component access for maintenance, upgrades, and audits. This chassis is a solid foundation for enterprise-grade servers, storage accelerators, or GPU-accelerated compute nodes in a scalable, future-ready infrastructure.

How to install Supermicro SuperChassis 826TQ-R500LPB

  • Prepare your rack and ensure facility power is safely powered down. Verify rack rails and mounting hardware are compatible with your 19" rack. Attach the chassis rails to the unit and secure the chassis to the rack following your data center’s standard procedures. Double-check that weight distribution is balanced and that there is adequate clearance for cable routing and front panel access.
  • Install the motherboard: Remove the side panels as instructed by the manual, install necessary standoffs for an EATX motherboard, and carefully seat the motherboard into the chassis. Route power, data, and backplane cables so they do not impede airflow. If a backplane or drive backplane is included, connect it per the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring all connectors are securely seated.
  • Configure storage: With 12 external 3.5" bays, you’ll want to plan your drive layout early. Slide drives into their trays, secure with the appropriate hardware, and connect SATA or SAS cables to the backplane or motherboard as required by your storage architecture. For backplane-based configurations, ensure drive trays latch properly and that all interconnects are engaged to prevent misalignment during operation.
  • Install power and cooling: Insert the two 500 W power supplies into their dedicated bays and secure them. Attach the AC power cords and verify redundancy paths are functional by performing a controlled power-on test. Confirm that both power rails are recognized by the system firmware and that the chassis fans respond to the system’s thermal sensors during POST.
  • Final checks and boot: Close the chassis, reconnect management interfaces (such as IPMI if available), and boot the system to verify POST. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to configure boot order, hardware RAID, and memory settings as required by your deployment. Route cables neatly, ensure unobstructed airflow, and document the hardware configuration for future maintenance and audits.

Quality meets style
Color: White, Size: Large, Color: White, Size: Large
This is an Oxford button-down dress shirt that is a great example of quality craftsmanship paired with classic style. The 50% polyester and 50% cotton fabric has a nice substantial weight to it that feels durable without being too heavy, making it perfect for a polished summer look. The detailed design around the collar adds a subtle touch of casual sophistication, and the chest pocket keeps it practical and versatile. The construction is impressive, with securely attached buttons that reinforce the overall sense of durability. I also appreciated the inclusion of two extra button which is a thoughtful and useful addition. The size large did run a bit snug so I’ll be ordering the next size up. This is a well-made shirt, of a quality-feel material. This brand continues to deliver on both quality and style, and the price feels more than fair for what you’re getting. Overall, a very nice summer dress shirt that I’d gladly recommend.

No flaws, not high end
Color: Pink, Size: Medium
I nabbed this for my in shape 14 year old son who had an upcoming wrestling banquet. It fit very true to size for him however as a low-mid grade dress shirt it had little flex or mobility across the chest and that’s ok, this is an entry level dress shirt and perfect for this and similar events. The color was vibrant and well saturated, and the fabric itself was thin enough for some transparency but thick enough to be considered medium weight. It would not be a cooling dress shirt. It did not have a soft hand, rather a sturdy rougher feel akin to a dress shirt a restaurant server would wear and laundry frequently which is also ok because it is exactly what a polo in this range should be. If you are looking for a flexible chest and soft touch you will need a better fabric blend and you pay a lot more for that. The buttons were nice and collar looked good. I would recommend this for any average event or occasion or even for work. If you are looking to impress on an interview or a date or during high heat you might need to look elsewhere. For what it is it’s perfect. Buyer and shirt need to remember this and keep it in its shirt lane.
