1-3 Server Chassis Features
The AS1041M-T2/1041M-82 is a high-end, scaleable server platform built upon the
-1000/-1000 1U server chassis. The following is a general
outline of the main features of the -1000/-1000 chassis.
System Power
The -1000/-1000 features a single, cold-swappable 1000W
power supply. Power must be removed from the system before servicing or replac-
ing the power supply.
SATA/SCSI Drives
The -1000/-1000 chassis was designed to support three SATA
(1041M-T2) or SCSI (1041M-82) hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SATA/SCSI drives.
