Density 1200 System
Chapter 1 - Introduction
The Cubix Density enclosure houses multiple server-class Intel“ compatible computers neatly and efficiently in a single, rack-mountable drawer. The Density Series can support both single and dual SMP processor boards through three standard backplane options*:
*Other backplane options are available. Consult your sales representative for more information.

Overview of Density Series System
The Density Series system is designed for the purpose of computer consolidation. Cubix equipment solves the problems associated with space-constrained backroom computing centers. Figures 2 and 3 on the following page show the arrangement of a consolidated Density system.

Figure 3 Density Series Chassis - Rear View
The Intelligent Environmental Sensor (IES) is integrated into a Multiplexor/IES Module board which is installed in a backplane slot (IES slot, Figure 3) of the Density Series system. The IES monitors system and processor health, and functions as an interface between the Density Series system and the Cubix IES Supervisory System. The IES Supervisory System provides SNMP instrumentation and integration with the Cubix GlobalVision management application.
