Server Chassis Features

The SuperServer 7043M-8/7043M-6 is a high-end, scaleable server platform de-
signed with today's most state-of-the-art features. The following is a general
outline of the main features of the SC742S-450 server chassis.
System Power
The 7043M-8/7043M-6 features a single 450W power supply with a redundant
cooling fan and a thermal control feature. This power unit is equipped with two
fans. One runs continuously while the other activates if the primary fan fails or
if the temperature becomes too high, which also activates an alarm and illumi-
nates the power fail LED. An alarm reset button is located on the back of the
power supply to deactivate the power fail alarm.
SCSI Subsystem
The SCSI subsystem supports up to seven 80-pin SCA Ultra320 (7043M-8) or
Ultra160 SCSI (7043M-6) hard drives. (Any standard 1" drives are supported.
SCA = Single Connection Attachment.) These can be configured as seven drives
on a single channel or divided on two channels. The SCSI drives are connected
to two SAF-TE compliant SCA backplanes that provide power, bus termination
and configuration settings. The SCSI drives are hot-swap units. A RAID controller
card can be used with the SCA backplanes to provide data security.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the
hotswap capability of the SCSI drives.
Front Control Panel
The SuperServer 7043M-8/7043M-6's control panel provides you with system
monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network
activity, overheat condition and power supply failure. A main power button, a
system reset button and an NMI button are also included.
