About This Manual
This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It
provides information for the installation and use of the SC216 2U chassis. Installa-
tion and maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians only.
Supermicro's SC216 maximizes storage capacity in a 2U form factor by offering 24
hot-swappable 2.5" SAS/SATA hard drive bays for applications requiring extra stor-
age. The chassis design optimizes every aspect of interior space without compro-
mising superior cooling capabilities. The chassis is equipped with a redundant 900W
high-efficiency (85%+), or 1200W Gold Level (93%) power supply for outstanding
power savings, with specially designed optimized cooling.
