What Is a Server Chassis and Why It Matters

What Is a Server Chassis and Why It Matters

When discussing IT equipment, especially servers, the term 'chassis' often appears. It may seem complex at first. However, knowing what your gear is can help you make better choices.

A chassis is the physical frame or case that holds all the parts of a server. Think of it as the body of the server, while the CPU, RAM, hard drives, and motherboard are like the internal organs. Just like a car needs a strong frame to hold the engine, wheels, and seats, a server needs a chassis to organize, protect, and cool its parts.

If a server is the brain of your setup, then the chassis is its skeleton and skin. It keeps everything together, controls temperature, and makes maintenance and upgrades easy.

A typical server chassis holds all the important hardware needed for the system to work, including: • Motherboard • Processor(s) (CPU) • Memory (RAM) • Hard drives or SSDs • Power supply units (PSUs) • Cooling fans • Network cards or GPUs (in some cases)
