SilverStone Technology, a pioneer in innovative computer hardware solutions, unveils its latest groundbreaking addition to the 19-inch rackmount server chassis market – the RM600 and RM61-312. Designed to exceed conventional standards, the RM600 represents SilverStone’s bold venture into the 6U height form factor, showcasing unparalleled cooling performance and versatility for demanding server applications. Additionally, it serves as the foundation upon which the RM61-312 is built.
Internally, the RM600 features a dual-chamber design. The top chamber, equivalent to a total of 4U height, can accommodate a wide range of motherboard form factors, including up to SSI-EEB, ensuring compatibility with diverse server-grade components. With 8 PCI expansion slots, the chassis supports multiple expansion card configurations of up to 340mm in length. Additionally, fan/radiator mounts on all sides of the chassis, coupled with dedicated radiator installation points, offer exceptional thermal management capabilities.

SilverStone's venture into rackmount workstation chassis with liquid cooling radiator support has opened new horizons for server infrastructure design, setting a precedent for enhanced cooling efficiency and adaptability. The RM600 exemplifies this pioneering spirit. Boasting a 6U height and 19-inch rackmount form factor, it offers unparalleled flexibility by integrating not one, not two, but a total three sets of 360mm radiator support into its comprehensive design.
At the core of the RM600 is a meticulously crafted design that prioritizes functionally, durability, and usability. It features a removable front panel with strategically placed perforations to optimize airflow without compromising performance. Front I/O ports, including 1 x USB Type-C and 2 x USB Type-A, are easily accessible upon panel removal.
The bottom chamber, utilizing the remaining 2U height, houses 3 storage drive cages and dual PSU support mounts. It features a full perforation panel, along with three 120mm fan mounts, providing exceptional intake airflow to cool the bottom chamber components.
Distinguishing itself from the RM600, the RM61-312 incorporates 12 drive trays at the front of the chassis, occupying the bottom 2U height. These trays support both 2.5” SSDs and 3.5” HDDs, each capable of operating in 12G-SAS or 6G-SATA format. This functionality is achieved through an internal backplane connected to the back of the drive tray module, equipped with 12Gb/s Mini-SAS HD SFF8643 connectors and SGPIO compatibility. The hot-swappable design of the drive trays ensures seamless maintenance and adaptability to changing storage requirements. Additionally, each drive tray includes a dedicated LED indicator that displays the operational status of individual drives.
