Machine and service clearance areas
Machine area is the actual floor space covered by the system. Service clearance
area includes the machine area, plus additional space required to open the covers
for service access to the system.
As the figure on the next page shows, the side cover of the A frame cannot be
placed adjacent to a wall (Example A), but can be positioned next to obstacles such
as poles or columns (Example B). The front cover on frame A opens 234 mm (9.2
in) wider than the width of the frame plus side cover (Example C). The front and
rear doors access all of the serviceable area in the z10 BC server. The system
requires specific service clearances to ensure the fastest possible repair in
the unlikely event that a part may need to be replaced. Failure to provide
enough clearance to open the front and rear covers will result in extended
service time.

Notes:
1. Machine area includes installed covers.
2. Service clearance area must be free of all obstacles. Units must be placed in a way that
all service areas are accessible. The weight distribution clearance area extending
beyond the service clearance area, such as the area at the outside corners of the units,
may contain support walls and columns.
