Sun Blade 6048 Chassis - Technical Specifications

The Sun Blade 6048 modular system gives you up to 48 hot-pluggable server modules in a specially designed unibody chassis/rack. Each rack contains four shelves, each of which can hold up to twelve server modules, plus modular I/O, networking, system management, Power Supply and fan modules. It weighs less and saves space, and it's an incredible advancement in scalability and compute density.
