About this Manual
This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It provides
information for the installation and use of the SC747 chassis. Installation and maintenance
should be performed by experienced technicians only.
Supermicro's SC747 server/workstation chassis offers eleven full-height, full-length PCIe
expansion slots and four sets of 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors to support up to four double-
width GPU cards. The SC747 comes equipped with optimized redundant, high-efficiency
power supplies with PMBus support and optimized thermal solutions with four hot-swappable
cooling fans and two hot-swappable exhaust fans. This chassis also supports the option for
up to two additional external rear fans. All of these fans incorporate advanced fan speed
controls to accommodate the most demanding GPU applications. Its eight hot-swappable
hard drives offer exceptional storage capacity, and three 5.25" storage modules can rotate
90° to accommodate tower or rack-mounting configurations.
