Server Chassis Features

The 1040C-T/1040C-8 is a high-end, scaleable server platform. The following is a
general outline of the main features of the SC818TQ+1000/SC818S+-1000 server
chassis.
System Power
The SC818TQ+1000/SC818S+-1000 features a single 1000W power supply. If
it fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the power supply
unit. The power supply is a cold-swappable unit that is installed from the front of
the chassis.
SATA Subsystem (1040C-T only)
The SATA subsystem supports up to three 3 Gb/sec SATA hard drives, which are
hot-swappable. The SCSI drives are connected to a SATA backplane. A RAID
controller card can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SCSI drives.
SCSI Subsystem (1040C-8 only)
The SCSI subsystem supports up to three 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives,
which are hot-swappable. Any standard 3.5" drives are supported. SCA = Single
Connection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to a duale channel SCA
backplane with SAF-TE. A RAID controller card can be used with the SCA back-
plane to provide data security.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SCSI drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The chassis supports the use of one standard size (full-height, full-length) expansion
card (for PCI-Express x8) with the use of a preinstalled riser card.
