Location in the Rack
The base IBM Cloud Pak for Data System consists of four main components (1G switch, 25G
switch, two compute chassis) that are designed to be integrated in the same rack with PDUs.
The recommended component placement is shown in Figure 2 below. Other configurations can
be used if IBM Safety Notices translations Pub # G229-9054 rules are followed, and the lengths
of the supplied cables are not exceeded.
