Front Control Panel
The control panel provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate
system power, HDD activity, network activity and overheat/fan fail. A main power
button and a system reset button are also included.
I/O Backplane
The I/O backplane on the SC818S+-1000 provides one PCI expansion slot, one
COM port, a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and
two gigabit Ethernet ports.
Cooling System
The SC818S+-1000 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes six 4-
cm counter-rotating fans located in the middle section of the chassis. The power
supply module also includes a cooling fan. All chassis and power supply fans
operate continuously.
A setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7) is used to control the system fan speed. This
setting uses voltage control to allow fans to run at different speeds. [The recom-
mended setting for the 1040C-T/1040C-8 is "3-pin (Server)".]
