A blade cassis is a box so to speak that "blade servers" will plug into. It's what controls the blades and such. They normally come in 2,4,8,and 16 blade configurations.
Here is a 16 blade Chassis from HP
The one i work with on a daily basis is a 8 blade cassis and weighs 429 pounds fully loaded. Empty the chassis weighs 108 pounds.
You will know when you find one. Also they have good resale value as the one we have cost $18,000 for the chasis, 20k for each of the 8 blades and about another 30k for the various expansion modules.
