1-3  Server Chassis Features

The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC827T-1200B 2U 

chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6.

System Power

When confi gured as a SuperServer 6026TT-TF/IBXF/IBQF, the SC827T-1200B 

includes a single 1200W power supply, which provides power to all four server-

boards (nodes).

SATA Subsystem

The SC827T-1200B chassis was designed to support twelve SATA hard drives, 

which are hot-swappable units.

Control Panel

The SC827T-1200B features four independant control panels associated with each 

serverboard (node) in the chassis. Each control panel has LEDs to indicate power 

on, network activity, power fail, fan fail and system overheat conditions. Each control 

panel also includes a main power button and a UID button. 

Rear I/O Panel

The SC827T-1200B is a 2U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides a slots for 

four low-profi le PCI Express x16 expansion cards, four COM ports, eight USB ports, 

four VGA ports and eight Gb Ethernet ports. See Chapter 6 for details.

Cooling System

The SC827T-1200B chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 

8-cm high-performance fans. A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed 

to be determined by system temperature. See Chapter 6 for details.
