Introduction - Intel SC5275-E Technical Product Specification

Intel® Server Chassis SC5275-E TPS
1.

Introduction

This specification details the feature set of the Intel
server chassis designed for Intel
cost and allows for utilization of multiple platforms and configurations.
The Server Chassis SC5275-E addresses the value server market. It includes a single 600W
power factor correction (PFC) power supply and supports four non-hot-swap hard drives. Two
tachometer fans (one mounted in front of the fixed hard drive cage and one mounted at the rear
of the chassis) provide main chassis cooling. This chassis is currently compatible with the
following Intel® server boards: Intel® Server Board SE7320SP2, Intel® Server Board
SE7525GP2, and Intel® Server Board SE7520BD2.
Two 5.25-in, half-height drive bays are available for peripherals, such as CD-ROM drives and
tape drives. A removable access cover provides entry to the interior of the chassis. The rear I/O
panel conforms to the Advanced Technology Extended (ATX) Specification, Revision 2.2. The
chassis supports seven full-length expansion cards. A front panel board designed for Server
Standards Infrastructure (SSI) Entry E-Bay (EEB) 3.0-compliant server boards is also provided
with the server chassis.
An optional hot-swap SCSI drive bay kit provides an upgrade path to allow the Server Chassis
SC5275-E to support six hot-swap drives. This optional hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bay
supports up to five 1-in single connector attachment (SCA) low-voltage differential SCSI (LVD)
hard drives to enhance serviceability, availability, and upgradeability of the system. When the
hot-swap drive bay is installed, it replaces the fixed hard drive bay. Refer to the Intel
Chassis SC5300/SC5275-E Hot-swap SCSI Bay Upgrade Kit for complete installation
instructions.
An optional hot-swap SATA upgrade drive bay assembly is available for the Server Chassis
SC5275-E. It should be mounted in place of the middle three 5.25-in drive trays in the base,
non-redundant chassis models. For the redundant power models, the upgrade accessory
should be installed in the lower three 5.25-in drive trays to bring the total number of available
hot-swap SATA drives to eight. Refer to the Intel
Hot-swap Bay Upgrade Kit for complete installation instructions. Note: Part of the replacement
process requires removing the fan from the fixed hard drive bay and attaching it to the rear of
the hot-swap drive bay.
