I/O Backplane

The SC815S-560 is an ATX form factor chassis that is designed to be used in a 

1U rackmount confi guration.  Ports on the I/O backplane include one COM port, 

a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two gigabit 

Ethernet ports.     

 

 

Cooling System

The SC815S-560 chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four sets 

of 40-mm counter-rotating fans located in the middle section of the chassis.  There 

is a "Fan Speed Control Mode" setting in BIOS that allows chassis fan speed to 

be determined by system temperature.  The power supply module also includes 

a cooling fan.
