1-3 Chassis Features

The SC743TQ-1200B-SQ is an ATX form factor chassis that can be used as a tower or mounted in a 4U rackmount configuration. The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC743TQ-1200B-SQ chassis.

System Power

The 7047A-73/7047A-T features a single 1200W 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-1200B-SQ chassis was designed to support eight SAS or SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units. (SAS is with 7047A-73 only).

Front Control Panel

The control panel on the SuperWorkstation 7047A-73/7047A-T 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.

Cooling System

The SC743TQ-1200B-SQ chassis has an innovative "Super Quiet" cooling design that provides sufficient cooling at very low noise level - ideal for a workplace envi- ronment. The chassis includes two 8-cm hot-plug PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) system cooling fans located in the middle of the chassis. A 9-cm PWM exhaust fan is also located at the rear of the chassis.

The power supply has two fans for redundancy; if one fan fails the other will incease its rpm to compensate. This may cause the system to run louder than usual. See details in Chapter 6.
