Need to move a standard ATX-based system into a server rack? The SilverStone RM23-502 brings familiar desktop PC hardware into a 2U chassis, making it suitable for rack-mounted workstations, business servers, and specialised systems. It supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards without requiring a dedicated server motherboard.

What sets the RM23-502 apart is its combination of two external 5.25" bays and seven low-profile expansion slots. The front bays accommodate compatible optical drives or specialised accessories, while the internal mounting positions provide space for five 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive. This makes it a practical option for systems that need conventional drive mounting rather than a built-in hot-swap backplane.

  • Supports ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards in a 580mm-deep 2U chassis, making it suitable for rack-mounted server and workstation configurations.
  • Provides two external 5.25" device bays, five internal 3.5" drive positions and one internal 2.5" drive position for flexible storage and accessories.
  • Features seven low-profile PCI/PCIe expansion slots and supports CPU air coolers up to 65mm tall.
  • Supports standard ATX PS2 power supplies up to 180mm long, with three front 80mm and one rear 60mm fan mounting positions.

Overview

SilverStone RM23-502 is a 2U general-purpose rackmount chassis for servers and workstations. Supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX boards with 2 x 5.25" external, 5 x 3.5" internal and 1 x 2.5" internal. Four fan mounting positions and seven low-profile PCI/PCIe slots support configurable cooling and expansion.

Who it suits

  • Server integrators building standard-form workstations get ATX motherboard support with two 5.25" external bays for optical drives or legacy storage.
  • Data center teams need compact 2U form with internal 3.5" and 2.5" slots for boot drives and storage without dedicated hot-swap infrastructure.
  • Budget-conscious system builders benefit from the 6.8kg chassis, standard ATX PSU compatibility, and four fan mounting positions for configurable airflow.
  • Less suitable for high-density NAS builds requiring hot-swap drive bays or motherboards larger than ATX. The RM21 and RM22 series offer dedicated hot-swap storage options.

Before you buy

  • A standard ATX PS2 power supply is required and sold separately. Check the 180mm PSU length limit and compatibility before purchasing.
  • The five 3.5" and one 2.5" internal bays are fixed mounts without a built-in hot-swap backplane. Consider a suitable hot-swap chassis if required.
