Hi, You have two options to use this chassis , being :
* add a motherboard, that can hold redundant power supplies, and
this will be just a server with a 4U with several disks
* use a server with the LSI card (or other one) and connect this LSI
with a SAS cable to the chassis, that "only" has disks, disk
backplane, jbod power interface and power supplies
Hope this helps...
