Environment
Shipping relative humidity
1. The final ASHRAE class is determined by the hardware that is installed in the rack. Individual specifications for
each piece of hardware must be reviewed.
2. Derate maximum allowable dry-bulb temperature 1°C per 175 m above 950 m. IBM recommends a temperature
range of 18°C - 27°C (64°F - 80.6°F).

For electrical requirements, see Power distribution unit and power cord options.
Floor cutout
Racks with water hoses and power cords that exit from the bottom of the rack require a floor tile cutout
of at least 30.48 cm (12 in.) long by 22.86 cm (9 in.) wide. Due to the hose bend radii, the hole must be
positioned towards the side of the rack without the manifold (the left side of the rack when looking at
the rear of the rack). The left edge of the hole must be at least 11.43 cm (4.5 in.) from the side and 3.81
cm (1.5 in.) from the back edge of the rack (not including doors). Hole placement on the tile depends on
the location of the rack, tile size, and tile load limitations.
