Physical Package - IBM Power System E850C Technical Overview And Introduction

Environmental assessment: The IBM Systems Energy Estimator tool can provide more
accurate information about power consumption and thermal output of systems based on a
specific configuration, including adapters and I/O expansion drawers. The IBM Systems
Energy Estimator tool can be accessed online at:

1.3 Physical package

Table 1-2 lists the physical dimensions of individual system nodes and of the PCIe I/O
expansion drawer.
The system node requires 4U, and the PCIe I/O expansion drawer requires 4U. Thus, a
single-enclosure system with one PCIe I/O expansion drawer requires 8U.
