ASUS AK34 chassis kit
1-3
1.2 Overview
The AK34 chassis kit is designed for easy configuration, flexibility, and
high reliability. The chassis may be set up as standalone or rack-mount.
Flexible expansion
Inside the stylish front bezel secured by a lock, the
front panel features easily accessible drives bays:
• a floppy drive bay
(floppy drive already installed)
• three 5.25-inch bays
(one occupied by a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive)
On the rear panel are slots for six full-length
expansion cards, a slot for the motherboard rear panel
I/O, and a bay for two redundant power supply
modules or a standard power supply module. A slot for
an external SCSI interface is also available.
Strategic interior
Inside the chassis, an HDD cage
encloses five internal hard disk
drive bays. The drive and fan
cages are strategically placed to
ensure proper system ventilation
and easy installation of
components.
A plastic long-card support is
provided to stabilize and hold long
expansion cards in place.
The chassis supports an extended ATX form factor ASUS motherboards.
See the motherboard dimension requirements on page 2-4.
