3-4 Configuring the SC743 Air Shroud
The SC743 air shroud is customizable into two configurations for 4U Supermicro SC743
series chassis systems (see Table 3-2).
See the sections below for instruction on configuring the SC743 air shroud to these
various configurations.
Table 3-2. SC743 Air Shroud Configurations
Configuration Description
Configuration-1
Component parts A, B and D for Intel Xeon DP 5500/5400/5100/5000 series
systems with 12” x 13” form factor mainboards, 6 PCI slots and 12/8/4 memory
DIMM slots (optimized for use with Supermicro X8Dxx/X7Dxx series
mainboards).
Configuration-2
Component parts A, B and D for Intel Xeon DP 5500/5400/5100/5000 series
systems with 12” x 13” form factor mainboards, 7 PCI slots and 12/8/4 memory
DIMM slots (optimized for use with Supermicro X8Dxx/X7Dxx series
mainboards).
NOTE: The default configuration is Configuration-1 with parts A, B and D
already connected.
For purposes of this section’s instructions assume that all parts are
unconnected and assembly to one of the air shroud’s configurations is required
for use.
