Cooling System

The SC819TQ-700/SC819S-700 chassis has an innovative cooling design that

features ﬁ ve sets of 4-cm 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.
