Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction Supermicro's SC745 chassis series is optimized for the latest Intel Xeon processor and is also compatible with previous generation Intel and AMD single/dual processor-based motherboards. Utilizing redundant, high-efficiency power supplies (95+%) and eight hot-swap 3.5" drive bays, this chassis offers reliable performance with problem-free maintenance. Designed with 100% cooling redundancy using a combination of high-performance fans, the chassis minimizes the probability of system downtime or performance degradation from thermal-related issues.
With seven tool-less PCIe expansion slots, and 6-pin power connectors supporting up to three high-end graphics cards, and it is quick to configure and easy to operate. Optionally, this tower can be converted to a 4U rack-mountable chassis in a standard rack. 1.1 Overview This chapter provides a brief outline of the functions and features of the SC745 chassis. Models are listed below. 1.2 Unpacking the System Inspect the box in which the chassis was shipped, and note if it was damaged. If any equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
