1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC418XTA server
chassis.
System Power
The SC418XTA chassis model includes four 1620W power supplies consisting of
two active and two backup power modules. In the unlikely event your power supply
fails, replacement is simple and can be accomplished without tools.
SATA Subsystem
The SC418XTA supports up to 24 2.5" hot-swap hard drives. These drives are
connected to a backplane that provides power and control. As an option, an extra
backplane may be installed to support a total of up to 48 2.5" drives.
Front Control Panel
The SC418XTA chassis includes a control panel below the left handle of the chassis.
The control panel provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate
system power, HDD activity, network activity, an information LED and power supply
failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.
I/O Ports
The chassis provides eight full-height, full-length expansion card slots, a COM port,
two USB 2.0 ports and, on the I/O card, a VGA port, two 10 Gb Ethernet ports and
a dedicated IPMI Ethernet port.
Cooling System
Four 9-cm and three 8-cm system fans are powered from the chassis and controlled
via IPMI.
Air Shrouds
The SC418XTA chassis includes one mylar air shroud, which directs the air fl ow
where cooling is needed. Always use the air shroud included with your server.
Note:
if four memory modules are installed, an additional air shroud must be used
(p/n MCP-310-41805-0B). See Chapter 6 for details.
