Description

Supermicro SC813MT-300C Chassis

The SC813MT-300C Chassis is a density-optimized 1U server chassis purpose-built for storage-heavy and data center deployments. With a compact 19.85" depth, this chassis maximizes rack space while providing robust motherboard compatibility and expansion options that scale with your workload. Built by Supermicro, a trusted name in enterprise hardware, this chassis focuses on reliability, serviceability, and efficient cooling essential for modern server farms. It is designed to support storage-centric configurations in dense rack environments, making it ideal for data centers, virtualization hosts, and storage nodes that require a compact footprint without compromising performance.

  • Density-optimized 1U chassis for space-efficient data centers: The SC813MT-300C is engineered to maximize rack density, delivering a compact footprint without compromising performance. The shallow 19.85" depth helps you fit more nodes into standard 19" racks, improving utilization and lowering total cost of ownership. With thoughtfully laid-out airflow paths and accessible interior, hot components stay cooler under load, helping to maintain consistent performance in busy environments.
  • ATX motherboard support up to 12" x 10": This broad compatibility means you can select a wide range of proven ATX server boards to meet memory, CPU, and I/O requirements for virtualization, storage, or ML workloads. The flexible support makes it easier to source reliable components from leading vendors, while a standardized mounting scheme simplifies maintenance and future upgrades in a growing data center.
  • Expansion capability with one full-height, half-length PCI addon card: An available PCIe slot lets you add high-performance network adapters, storage controllers, or accelerator cards to tailor the system to your workflow. This flexibility is ideal for hyper-converged deployments, software-defined storage, or backup acceleration, and supports future-proofing as workloads evolve and demand greater I/O bandwidth.
  • Storage-friendly chassis design for reliability and uptime: The chassis is designed to accommodate storage-oriented configurations with careful cable management and airflow considerations to help keep drives cool and data safe. This focus on reliability translates to easier maintenance, quicker component swaps, and reduced downtime in high-demand data-center environments.
  • Build quality and brand support from Supermicro: As a trusted data center chassis provider, Supermicro offers robust aluminum construction, standardized mounting, and long-term component availability to support mission-critical deployments. This translates into predictable performance, easier service, and lower total cost of ownership over the life cycle of your infrastructure.

How to install Supermicro SC813MT-300C Chassis

Before you begin, ensure you have a compatible 19" rack, the appropriate mounting rails, and a compatible ATX motherboard. The SC813MT-300C is designed for 1U deployment, so plan cable routing and airflow to maintain cool operation in dense environments.

Step 1: Prepare the rack and rails. Confirm clearance for cable management and ensure the rack is grounded. Attach the rails according to your rack hardware guidelines to provide secure mounting for the 1U chassis.

Step 2: Install the ATX motherboard. Place the motherboard on a clean anti-static surface, mount it with the appropriate standoffs aligned to the chassis with I/O shield in place. Secure the motherboard with screws and connect memory, CPU, and cooling components as recommended by the motherboard manufacturer.

Step 3: Install expansion cards. If you plan to add a PCI addon card, insert it into the designated full-height, half-length PCIe slot and secure it with a screw. Connect any required power or data cables to the card as specified by the card manufacturer, ensuring clean routing to avoid obstruction of airflow.

Step 4: Configure storage and cables. Plan drive or backplane connections if your storage configuration requires it. Route power, data, and front-panel cables neatly to maximize airflow and simplify future maintenance. Double-check that all connectors are firmly seated before powering up.

Step 5: Final checks and power-on. Close the chassis, attach the power supply, and power on to verify POST (Power-On Self-Test). Enter the system BIOS/UEFI to configure boot order, storage settings, and any RAID or hot-swap controls. Confirm that fans and cooling mechanisms respond correctly under initial load, and perform a basic hardware check to ensure all components are recognized by the motherboard.
