Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813MTQ chassis.
System Power
When confi gured as a SuperServer 5017C-MTF, the SC813MTQ chassis includes
a single 350W power supply. When confi gured as a SuperServer 5017C-MTRF, the
SC813MTQ chassis includes a redundant 400W power supply.
SATA Subsystem
For the 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF, the SC813MTQ chassis was designed to sup-
port 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's control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity and
system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power button
and a system reset button. The front of the SC813MTQ also includes a COM port
and two USB serial ports for easy access.
Rear I/O Panel
The SC813MTQ is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one PCI
motherboard expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports,
a parallel (printer) port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA port and two Gb
Ethernet ports.
Cooling System
The SC813MTQ chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 4-cm
high-performance system cooling fans and an air shroud. 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)].
