1-3 Server Chassis Features

The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC811TS-280B chas- sis.

System Power

The SC811TQ-280 chassis includes a single 280W power supply.

Serial ATA Subsystem

The SC811TQ-280 chassis was designed to support two Serial ATA drives, which are hot-swappable units. ATA/100 IDE drives can be alternately supported.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot- swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.

Control Panel

The control panel on the SC811TQ-280 provides important system monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activ- ity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power button and a system reset button.

Rear I/O Panel

The SC811TQ-280 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one expan- sion card slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two Gb Ethernet ports.

Cooling System

The SC811TQ-280 chassis has an innovative cooling design that features two 10-cm blower system cooling fans. These blower fans plug into a chassis fan header on the serverboard. A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system temperature [the recommended setting is 3-pin (Server)].
