Chassis Features
The SuperWorkstation 7046A-3/7046A-T is a scaleable system designed with to-
day's most state-of-the-art features. The following is a general outline of the main
features of the SC743TQ-865B-SQ chassis.
System Power
The 7046A-3/7046A-T features a single 865W power supply. This power supply
unit has been designed to operate at a low noise level to make it ideal for use in
a workstation environment.
SAS Subsystem
The SC743TQ-865B-SQ chassis was designed to support eight SAS hard drives,
which are hot-swappable units (7046A-3 only).
Front Control Panel
The control panel on the SuperWorkstation 7046A-3/7046A-T provides you with
system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network
activity, overheat conditions and power supply failure. A main power button and a
system reset button are also included.
Note: the power supply fail LED indicates the power supply fan has failed.
