Rack Options - IBM System x3690 X5 At-A-Glance Manual

Rack options

The x3690 X5 is a 2U-high device (1U is one rack unit and is 1.75 inches). The MAX5 memory expansion
unit is an additional 1U high unit. Both are designed to be installed in standard 19-inch racks. Three slide
kits are available for use with the x3690 X5, as listed in the following table. Cable management arms are
optional but useful because they help prevent cables from becoming tangled and causing server
downtime. Available cable management arms are also listed.
