The SC812L-520U is Supermicro's second-generation 1U chassis and features three hard drive bays, two front side USB ports 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 SC812L- 520U chassis.
System Power
When confi gured as a SuperServer 6015B-Ni, the SC812L-520U chassis includes a 520W power supply.
Control Panel
The SC812L-520U control panel provides important system monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity, UID and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power button, a system reset button and a UID button.
I/O Backplane
The SC812L-520U is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides three standard size PCI slots, one COM port (the other is internal), one VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, two Ethernet (LAN) ports and a UID LED.
Cooling System
The SC812L-520U chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been optimized to provide suffi cient cooling for dual CPU confi gurations. The SC812L-520U includes two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans located in the middle of the chassis. These fans operate continuously at full rpm. An overheat LED will be activated if they break down and the ambient air temperature inside the chassis rises.
