1-3 Chassis 

Features

System Power

When confi gured as a SuperServer 5016I-MT/5016I-MTF, the SC813MTQ-350 

chassis includes a single 350W power supply.

SATA Subsystem

The SC813MTQ-350 chassis was designed to support four SATA hard drives, 

which are hot-swappable units.

Note:

 The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the 

hot-swap  capability  of  the  SATA  drives  (system-based  RAID  is  not  available  for 

SATA).

Control Panel

The SC813MTQ-350's control panel provides important system monitoring and 

control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activ-

ity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power 

button and a system reset button. The front of the chassis also includes a COM 

port and two USB serial ports for easy access.

Cooling System

The SC813MTQ-350 chassis has an innovative cooling design that features three 

4-cm high-performance system cooling fans. Each of these fans plug into a chassis 

fan header on the motherboard. An air shroud channels the airfl ow generated by 

the fans to effi ciently cool the processor area of the system.

A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system 

temperature [the recommended setting is 3-pin (Server)].
