1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) is a scaleable server platform de- signed with today's most state-of-the-art features. The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC743TQ-865-SQ server chassis.

System Power

The 7045A-C3/7045A-CT features a single 865W power supply. This power supply unit has been designed to operate at a low noise level to make it ideal for use in a workstation environment.

SAS Subsystem

The SC743TQ-865-SQ chassis was designed to support eight SAS hard drives, which are hot-swappable units (7045A-C3 only).

SATA Subsystem

The SC743TQ-865-SQ supports up to six 3 Gb/s Serial ATA drives. The SATA drives are hot-swappable units and are connected to a backplane that provides power and control.

Front Control Panel

The control panel on the SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, overheat conditions and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.

Note: the power supply fail LED indicates the power supply fan has failed.
