THE XCUBENAS XN7008RE EXTERIOR

The 12.7Kg heavy XN7008RE follows the usual 2U form factor and measures 438mm in width, 510mm in length and 88.5mm in height.

The fascia is almost entirely black with some green parts.

On the top left we see the company name and the model.

Right beneath that (and on the other side as well) there's a screw which is probably meant to be used with the optional rail package.

At the center we find the 8 drive bays with the 8 drive trays.

The front of all trays is partially perforated and has two activity LEDs (HDD/Power) and a locking switch.

These trays are primarily made out of aluminum and can accommodate both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

On the top right of the fascia we find the power on/off and the unique identifier (UID) buttons/LED indicators.

A sticker showcasing the drive bay/slot sequence is placed on top of the chassis.

Moving at the rear we find the two 250W replaceable/redundant power supply units (both have indicators and bleep-off buttons), UID LED Indicator, mute button, reset button, console port, 4xRJ45 Ethernet ports, 4xUSB 3.0 ports, two PCIe Slots (Gen3x8/Gen3x4 - our sample came with one of these occupied by an CX312B SFP card) and the HDMI output.
