Cooling System

The SC812-EO chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been optimized to provide sufficient cooling for dual Xeon configurations. The SC812-EO in- cludes two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans located in the middle of the chassis. These fans operate continuously at full rpm. If they break down, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will rise and activate an overheat LED.
