Figure 2-1. Typical zSeries 800 system
All zSeries 800 models are constructed using building blocks called "cages" that
mount in a "frame". A processor (CPC) cage is always placed in the top position of
the frame. Input/Output adapters are installed in a second cage, added to the
bottom of the frame.
Because of the large number of cables that can be connected to a zSeries 800
system, installation on a raised floor is strongly recommended.
If you are planning an installation on a raised floor in Canada, the installation
must be in accordance with Section 12-020 of the CEC. Certain limitations may
apply to non-raised floor applications. In any country, refer to your national electric
code if you have questions about routing data processing cables in exposed areas.
