1-2 Server Chassis Features
The SC812L is Supermicro's newest 1U chassis and features three hard
drive bays 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 chassis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 6012P-i, the SC812L chassis includes a
single 350W power supply.
Control Panel
The SC812L control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive ac-
tivity and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power
button and a system reset button.
I/O Backplane
The SC812L is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides one
standard size PCI slot, one COM port (the other is internal), one VGA port,
two USB ports, a parallel port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two
Ethernet (LAN) ports. (See Figure 1-1.)
Cooling System
The SC812L chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been optimized to
provide sufficient cooling for dual Xeon configurations. The SC812L in-
cludes two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans located in the middle of the
chassis. These fans operate continuously at full rpm. If they break down,
the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will rise and activate an
overheat LED.
