1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SC813S-500 is one of Supermicro's third-generation 1U chassis and features four hot-swap SCSI hard drive bays, a slim CD-ROM drive, a slim 3.5" floppy drive and a revolutionary cooling design that can keep today's most powerful processors running well below their temperature thresholds. The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813S-500 chassis.

System Power

When configured as a SuperServer 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8, the SC813S chassis includes a 500W cold-swap power supply.

SCSI Subsystem

The SCSI subsystem supports four 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. (Any standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attach- ment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. The SCSI drives are also hot-swap units. A Zero Channel RAID controller card can be used with the SCA backplane to provide data security.

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

Control Panel

The SC813S-500 control panel provides important system monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity and overheat/fan fail. Also present are a main power button and a system reset button.

I/O Backplane

The SC813S-500 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides one full-height full-length and one low-profile PCI expansion slots, one COM port (the other is internal), one VGA port, an external SCSI port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Ethernet (LAN) ports.
