A rack-mount data server includes a housing, a plurality of data server components supported by the housing, the components including at least one peripheral storage device, a logic chassis for the data server, at least one disk drive on which the data server stores files, and at least one power supply, and a plurality of racks coupled with the housing to accommodate the data server components, the racks including a first topmost rack accommodating the at least one peripheral storage device and a second rack accommodating the logic chassis, the housing supporting the second rack underneath the first rack as the second topmost rack. The data server also includes a front door and a top door, the top door and the front door being interlockable with each other such that when the top door and the front door are in their closed positions, one of the top door and the front door locks the other of the top door and the front door in its closed position. A security system monitors the closed and/or locked status of a number of components, including the front door.
