Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The SC823HS-R500RC houses six SCSI hard drive bays while the SC823Hi-
R500RC has only two drive bays. (Although these two IDE drive bays can house
up to six hard drives, the serverboard can only support up to four UDMA IDE
devices). Both chassis include a 5.25-inch drive bay and a slim CD-ROM drive
and features a revolutionary cooling design that can keep today's most powerful
processors running well below their temperature thresholds. The following is a
general outline of the main features of the SC823HS-R500RC/SC823Hi-R500RC
chassis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 6123L-8R/6123L-iR, the SC823HS-R500RC/
SC823Hi-R500RC chassis includes two 500W hot-swap power supplies with a
built-in I 2 C feature. The power supply unit is auto-switching capable for inputs of
100/240 VAC
Control Panel
The SC823HS-R500RC/SC823Hi-R500RC control panel provides important sys-
tem monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activ-
ity, hard disk drive activity, power supply fail and system overheat conditions.
Also present are a main power button and a system reset button.
I/O Backplane
The SC823HS-R500RC/SC823Hi-R500RC is a 2U rackmount chassis. Its I/O
backplane provides three full-length PCI slots, a COM port (another COM port is
an onboard header located near the USB2/3 ports), a VGA port, two USB ports
and two Ethernet (GLAN) ports. (See Figure 1-2.)
