Chapter 1: Introduction

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813MTQ chassis.

System Power

When configured as a SuperServer 5017C-MTF, the SC813MTQ chassis includes

asingle 350W power supply. When configured as a SuperServer 5017C-MTRF, the SC813MTQ chassis includes a redundant 400W power supply.

SATA Subsystem

For the 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF, the SC813MTQ chassis was designed to sup- port four SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SATA drives (system-based RAID is not available for SATA).

Control Panel

The SC813MTQ's control panel provides important system monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power button and a system reset button. The front of the SC813MTQ also includes a COM port and two USB serial ports for easy access.

Rear I/O Panel

The SC813MTQ is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one PCI motherboard expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports, a parallel (printer) port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA port and two Gb Ethernet ports.

Cooling System

The SC813MTQ chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 4-cm high-performance system cooling fans. Each of these fans plug into a chassis fan header on the motherboard.

A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system temperature [the recommended setting is 3-pin (Server)].
