Chapter 3: Chassis Components Chapter 3 Chassis Components Overview This chapter describes the most common components included with your chassis. Some components listed may not be included or may not be compatible with your particular chassis model. For more information, see the installation instructions detailed later in this manual.
SC825 Chassis Manual Power Supply Each SC825 chassis model includes a high-efficiency power supply rated at 500W (redundant), 560W (single), 563W (single) 600W (single), 700W (redundant) 710W (single), 720W (redundant) or 740W (Redundant). In the unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be accomplished without tools. Air Shroud Air shrouds are shields, usually plastic, which conduct the airflow directly to where it is needed.
Chapter 4: System Interface Chapter 4 System Interface Overview There are LEDs on the control panel and the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the over-all status of the system, as well as the activity and health of specific components.
SC825 Chassis Manual Chapter 4: System Interface Control Panel Buttons Information LED Status Description There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order Continously on and red An overheat ocondition has occured. (This may be from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.
SC825 Chassis Manual Drive Carrier LEDs Your chassis uses SAS/SATA drives. SAS/SATA Drives Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs. Green: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front of the SATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A con- nection to the SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Chapter 5 Chassis Setup and Maintenance Overview This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte- nance on the chassis. The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Phillips screwdriver.
