RS235 2U Rugged Server· MEETS MIL-STD 810F, 167-1, 461E and MIL-S-901D
· Three expansion slots
· Five HDD
· 20" depth

   

The RS235 (rugged 2U server with short depth) offers extended capability with shock/vibe rating of 4.43 GRMS in combined wheeled vehicle and aircraft profiles, a temperature range of –40oC up to 71oC (-40 to160oF) and multiple power options. The RS235 is available with the following processor: Socket 1366 ( Intel Nehalem-EP & Westmere-EX) CPU. Expansion capabilities in this short depth (20 inches) rugged server include One (1) PCIe 2.0 x16 (x8 signals) Slot, One (1) PCIe 2.0 x8 Slot, and One (1) PCI Slot, meaning greater adaptability. Up to ten drives and a slimline CD/DVD are available. The drives are removable and hot swappable.

All Crystal products are designed and being tested to meet MIL-STDs 810F, 167-1, 461E, and 901D requirements. As always, each Crystal product comes with a standard three-year warranty. On-site, next day and extended warranties are available. Configuration Management is also available upon request.
