1.2 Overview
The AK35 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 drive)
• six 3.5-inch hard disk drive bays with externally
removable trays
On the rear panel are slots for seven 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, the SCSI
backplane is installed and the
appropriate cables routed. The drive
and fan cages are strategically placed
to ensure proper system ventilation
and easy installation of components.

to stabilize and hold long expansion
cards in place.
