1-3 Server Chassis Features
The SuperWorkstation 7045A-WT is a scaleable server platform designed with
today's most state-of-the-art features. The following is a general outline of the main
features of the SC743SQ-865 server chassis.
System Power
The 7045A-WT features a single 865W power supply. This power supply unit has
been designed to operate at a low noise level to make it ideal for use in a worksta-
tion environment.
Serial ATA Subsystem
The SC743SQ-865 supports up to six 3 Gb/s Serial ATA drives. The SATA drives
are hot-swappable units and are connected to a backplane that provides power
and control.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.
Front Control Panel
The control panel on the SuperWorkstation 7045A-WT 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 and a system
reset button are also included.
Note: the power supply fail LED is intended for use with redundant power supply
systems and so is not needed for the 7045A-WT.
I/O Backplane
The SC743SQ-865 is an ATX form factor chassis that can be used as a tower
or mounted in a 4U rackmount confi guration. The I/O backplane provides seven
expansion slots, two COM ports, a parallel port, four USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse
and keyboard ports, one or two (depending on the serverboard) Gigabit Ethernet
port(s) and Line-In, Line-Out and Microphone jacks.
Cooling System
The SC743SQ-865 chassis has an innovative "Whisper-Quiet" cooling design that
includes two 8-cm hot-plug PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) system cooling fans and
a 9-cm chassis exhaust fan. The low noise level (~28 dB) makes the 7045A-WT
ideal for a workstation environment.
