1.6 System racks
The Enterprise Rack Models T00 and T42 are 19-inch wide racks for general use with
IBM Sserver p5, OpenPower, and pSeries rack-based or rack drawer-based systems. The
racks provide increased capacity, greater flexibility, and improved floor space utilization.
If a IBM Sserver OpenPower system is to be installed in a non-IBM rack or cabinet, you
must ensure that the rack conforms to the EIA
page 12).
Note: It is the client's responsibility to ensure that the installation of the drawer in the pre-
ferred rack or cabinet results in a configuration that is stable, serviceable, safe, and com-
patible with the drawer requirements for power, cooling, cable management, weight, and
rail security.
1.6.1 IBM RS/6000 7014 Model T00 Enterprise Rack
The 1.8-meter (71-inch) Model T00 is compatible for past and present IBM Sserver p5,
OpenPower, and pSeries systems that fit into 19-inch racks and is designed for use in all
situations that have previously used the older rack models R00 and S00. The T00 rack has
the following features:
36 EIA units (36U) of usable space.
Optional removable side panels.
Optional highly perforated front door.
Optional side-to-side mounting hardware for joining multiple racks.
Standard business black or optional white color in OEM format.
Increased power distribution and weight capacity.
Optional reinforced (ruggedized) rack feature (FC 6080) provides added earthquake
protection with modular rear brace, concrete floor bolt-down hardware, and bolt-in steel
front filler panels.
Support for both AC and DC configurations.
DC rack height is increased to 1926 mm (75.8 inches) if a power distribution panel is fixed
to the top of the rack.
Up to four Power Distribution Units (PDUs) can be mounted in the PDU bays (see
Figure 1-3 on page 10), but others can fit inside the rack. See "AC Power Distribution Unit
and rack content" on page 9.
An optional rack status beacon (FC 4690). This beacon is designed to be placed on top of
a rack and cabled to servers, such as an OpenPower 710 server, and other components
inside the rack. Servers can be programmed to illuminate the beacon in response to a
detected problem or changes in system status.
