replace a failed power supply without shutting down the system.
SAS/SATA Subsystem
The SC828 chassis was designed to support six hot-swappable SAS or SATA
hard drives.
Front Control Panel
The control panel provides system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system
power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat and power supply failure. A
main power button and a system reset button are also included. In addition, two
USB ports and a COM port have been incorporated into the front of the chassis
for convenient access.
I/O Backplane
The I/O backplane includes one COM port, a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2
mouse and keyboard ports, four gigabit Ethernet ports and one dedicated Ethernet
port for IPMI. Two x16 and two x8 low profile PCI-E expansion cards may be added
to the system.
Cooling System
The SC828 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes six 8-cm heavy-
duty hot-swap fans located in the middle section of the chassis. The power supply
module also includes a cooling fan. All chassis and power supply fans operate
continuously. An air shroud channels the airflow from the system fans to efficiently
cool the processors and memory.
