Server Chassis Features

The SC813S is one of Supermicro's third-generation 1U chassis and features four
hot-swap SCSI hard drive bays, a slim CD-ROM drive, a slim 3.5" floppy drive and
a revolutionary cooling design that can keep today's most powerful processors
running well below their temperature thresholds. The following is a general
outline of the main features of the SC813S chassis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 6013P-8+, the SC813S chassis includes a
500W cold-swap power supply.
SCSI Subsystem
The SCSI subsystem supports four 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. (Any
standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attachment.) The
SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane that provides power, bus termi-
nation and configuration settings. The SCSI drives are also hot-swap units.
Control Panel
The SC813S control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity
and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power button and a
system reset button.
I/O Backplane
The SC813S is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides one full-
height full-length and one half-height half-length PCI slots, one COM port (the
other is internal), one VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports
and two Ethernet (LAN) ports. (See Figure 1-2.)
