Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC747TQ-R1620B
chassis.
System Power
The SC747TQ-R1620B chassis includes a 1620W high-efficiency, redundant (1+1)
power supply consisting of two power supply modules. In the unlikely event a power
supply module fails, replacement is simple and can be done without tools. The AC
power cord should be removed from the system before servicing or replacing a
power supply module. See Chapter 6 for details.
Mounting Rails (optional)
The SC747 can be placed in a rack for secure storage and use. To setup your rack,
follow the step-by-step instructions included in this manual in Chapter 2.
Hard Drive/Drive Bays
The SC747 chassis features eight drive bays for SATA drives. These drives are hot
-swappable. Once set up correctly, these drives can be removed without powering
down the workstation.
The SC747 chassis also provides three 5.25" peripheral drive bays for floppy drives,
DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drives, or additional hard drives.
Control Panel
The control panel on the workstation provides you with system monitoring and
control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, system
overheat, UID and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset
button are also included.
Cooling System
The SC747 chassis accepts four system fans and two rear exhaust fans. System
fans are powered from the serverboard. These fans are 4U high and are powered
by 4-pin connectors.
