FOREWORD

This manual is writing for the installation and usage information of RMC4236-670-HSE chassis that provided to professional system integrators and personal computer technicians. The installation and maintenance should be conducted by experienced  technicians only.
Gooxi RMC4236-670-HSE, the fourth generation of server chassis is designed based on standard 2U server and can be assembled into common computing server, storage server, servers in Internet cafe, database server, VOD storage server, HPC server, and so  on. The server chassis is different from ordinary desktop chassis that pays more attention to appearance design, as it focuses on the quality and content. Gooxi RMC4236-670-HSE server chassis uses imported first- class SGCC galvanized steel, and possessed  with the characteristics of fingerprint resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, heat transfer and thermal reflectivity, formability as well as weldability.
In addition, taking into account the higher stability requirements of the server during usage, Gooxi RMC4236-670-HSE server chassis has excellent heat dispersion. To be specific, the heat dissipation channel is reasonably designed, which can take away a large  amount of heat in the chassis to ensure the stable operation of the server.
The scalability is an important factor to determine whether the server chassis design is reasonable. Gooxi RMC4236-670-HSE server chassis has stronger scalability than ordinary chassis, such as: hard disk expansion, peripheral expansion, etc.
