The Intel® Server Chassis SC5300 may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may

Intel Corporation server baseboards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery
components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the
intended thermal requirements of these components when the fully integrated system is used together. It
is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not to use Intel developed server building
blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of air flow
required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation can not be held
responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of
their published operating or non-operating limits.

1. Introduction
This specification details the feature set of the Intel®Server Chassis SC5300, an entry-level
server chassis designed for Intel®server board products. The Server Chassis SC5300 series of
products are low cost, quick to integrate, and allow utilization of multiple platforms and
configurations. The Server Chassis SC5300 series comes in three configurations: 600-W
SC53000BASE, 730-W SC5300BRP, and 730-W SC5300LX. The configurations are
distinguishable from one another based primarily on power supply and cooling features.
1.1 Intel®Server Chassis SC5300 Design Features
The Intel®Server Chassis SC5300 series makes extensive use of tool-less hardware features
and, dependent upon configuration and upgrade features, provides redundant cooling and
redundant power supply capability. The following table lists the features for the SC5300BASE,
SC5300BRP, and SC5300LX configurations.

1.2 Intel®Server Chassis SC5300BASE Summary
The Intel® Server Chassis SC5300BASE is designed to address the entry-level market. It
includes a fixed single 600-W Power Factor Correction (PFC) non-redundant power supply,
which supports up to six hard drives. Two tachometer output fans are mounted in front of the
server board. Optional four- and six-drive SCSI hot swap drive bay kits provide upgrades to
allow support for 6 hot swap SCSI drives. An optional six-drive hot swap SATA/SAS drive bay
is also available. Three 5.25-inch half-height peripheral bays are available for installation of a
floppy drive, CD-ROM drive and/or other accessories. Standard chassis configuration is
pedestal. A rack mount conversion kit is available.

1.3 Intel®Server Chassis SC5300BRP Summary
The Intel®Server Chassis SC5300BRP supports the redundant power capability of the
SC5300LX configuration and the fixed fan features of the SC5300BASE configuration. The
SC5300BRP configuration includes a single 730-W PFC power supply module. Two
tachometer output fans are mounted in front of the server board. When populating the server
chassis with a single power supply, the power supply must be populated in the first power
supply bay. A second 730-W module may be added to provide redundant power supply.
Optional four- and six-drive SCSI hot swap drive bay kits provide upgrades to allow support for
up to 10 hot swap SCSI drives. An optional six-drive hot swap SATA/SAS drive bay is also
available. Three 5.25-inch half-height peripheral bays are available for installations of a floppy
drive, CD-ROM drive and/or other accessories.
1.4 Intel®Server Chassis SC5300LX Summary
The Intel® Server Chassis SC5300LX supports redundant power and includes redundant fan
features. The SC5300LX configuration includes a single 730-W PFC power supply module.
When populating the server chassis with a single power supply, the power supply must be
populated in the first power supply bay. A second 730-W module may be added to provide
redundant power supply. Four LED hot swap tachometer output fans provide redundant
cooling. Optional four- and six-drive SCSI hot swap drive bay kits provide upgrades to allow
support for up to 10 hot swap SCSI drives. An optional six-drive hot swap SATA/SAS drive bay
is also available. Three 5.25-inch half-height peripheral bays are available for installation of a
floppy drive, CD-ROM drive and/or other accessories. The standard chassis configuration is
pedestal. A rack mount conversion kit is available.

2.2.1 Pedestal and Rack Mount Features
The standard pedestal front bezel is a molded plastic door covering all drive bays. A key lock is
provided to prevent unauthorized access to the peripheral bays. A molded plastic sub-bezel is
located on the face of the chassis under the front bezel. The sub-bezel houses the front panel
buttons and light pipes for the front panel indicators. Each peripheral bay is covered with a
removable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield.
Opening the exterior plastic door on the pedestal chassis accesses the hot swap hard drives.
An EMI shield is incorporated into the drive carrier design, eliminating the need for a separate

shield or door. This adds flexibility to the bezel design by making EMI performance independent
of the cosmetic plastic parts.
Customized bezels for OEM customers can be designed from the standard bezel design. OEM
snap-in branding panels are available.
In the rack mount configuration, the front door is removed and the sub-bezel becomes the front
panel for the rack mount system. The rack mount kit includes the chassis slides, rack handles,
front door hinge cover plate and intrusion switch modification hardware.
2.3 Security
A variety of chassis security options are provided at the system level:
1. A two-position key lock/switch will unlock the front bezel and side cover in the
pedestal configuration only. Rack mount configuration does not have a key lock.
2. For rack mounted systems, a removable padlock loop on the rear of the system
access cover can be used to prevent access to the microprocessors, memory, and
add-in cards. A variety of lock sizes can be accommodated by the 0.270-inch
diameter loop.
3. A Kensington* cable lock mounting hole is provided on the rear chassis I/O panel.
4. An intrusion switch for the side panel and front bezel door are standard. In the rack
mount configuration, only the system cover has an active intrusion switch. Note: See
the appropriate Server Board Technical Product Specification on the
support.intel.com website for a description of BIOS and Intel®Server Management
security features. Intrusion switches are provided allowing server management
software, such as Intel®Server Management (ISM), to detect unauthorized access to
the system cover and pedestal bezel door.
2.4 I/O Panel
All input/output (I/O) connectors are accessible on the rear of the chassis. The SSI E-bay 3.5-
compliant chassis provides an ATX* 2.03-compatible cutout for I/O shield installation. Boxed
server boards provide the required I/O shield for installation in the cutout. The I/O cutout
dimensions are shown in the following figure.
The rear I/O panel conforms to the Advanced Technology Extended (ATX) Specification,
Revision 2.1, and supports seven full-length expansion PCI adaptor cards.

2.5 Standard and Optional Hot Swap Drive Bays
One fixed bay, supporting six cabled drives, ships with the standard chassis. An optional four-
drive bay for cabled (fixed) drives is available. Optional four- and six-drive hot swap bays are
also available and may be installed to replace either the six- or four-drive fixed bays. No tools
are required to replace the fixed drive bays. An optional six drive hot swap SATA/SAS bay is
also available. See the appendix for a full list of accessories.
2.6 5.25-inch Half-height Peripheral Bays
Three 5.25-inch, half-height drive bays are available for installation of a floppy drive, CD-ROM
drive or tape drive. The chassis ships with a 3.5-inch floppy or fixed drive carrier installed in the
top 5.25-inch drive bay and two empty 5.25-inch drive bays. Tool-less mounting rails are
included for all three drive bays and attach without screws.
