The Inter-Tech IPC 3U-3416 server case in 3U format serves as a foundation for building powerful data servers or enterprise storage with high demands on disk capacity. This professional computer case offers a versatile internal layout and accommodates a wide range of hardware components, from standard formats to specialised server boards. The design is aimed at deployment in rack cabinets, where the emphasis is on managing large amounts of data and ensuring easy access to individual drives. Thanks to its design and support for industry standards, this product forms a reliable element for building a comprehensive network infrastructure. Server operators get a stable foundation for their components, with an emphasis on functionality and long-term sustainability for continuous operation.
The chassis uses durable 1.0mm to 1.2mm thick steel, providing the necessary stability for demanding operation. The internal space supports a wide range of motherboards, from Mini ITX to large SSI-EEB or eATX formats. The solid steel design protects the installed components and contributes to the long-term durability of the entire build. The front panel includes controls such as a power switch and reset button, along with LED indicators for disk and network activity.
The main advantage lies in its support for sixteen external hot-swap bays for 2.5" or 3.5" hard drives. These slots use four backplanes with SFF-8087 connectors for fast data transfer. In addition, users can install a slim optical drive and other internal 2.5" drives. Removable drive caddies simplify handling and potential hardware replacement during server maintenance.
The cooling system relies on five pre-installed fans that create an effective airflow through the case. Three 120mm fans are located directly behind the drive bays, and two 60mm units on the rear panel exhaust hot air. The cooling performance maintains optimal temperatures even when all drive bays are fully populated. The front panel also offers two high-speed USB 3.0 ports for easy connection of external peripherals or service keys.
