(27.5 - 28.5 in). The rack must provide sufficient room in front of the forward EIA
flange to allow for bezel attachment. The standard for 310-D suggests 49 mm (1.9
in) clearance. It must also provide adequate room at the rear of the rack, behind the
rear flange for cable management; the System x3400 server requires approximately
16.6 cm (6.5 in) in this space.
The rack should include perforated front and rear doors and must not prevent the
flow of cool air into or out of the rack. The weight handling capacity of the rack is
22.7 kg (50 lb). Finally, the rack must provide proper stabilization so that the rack
does not become unstable when servers are pulled out of service.
Cable orders
Broadcom 5709C 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex dual Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express
controllers, standard with the x3400 M2 servers, are connected directly to one
independent RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10BaseT, 100Base-
TX, or 1000Base-TX interface for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet
network. Cabling is not included with the server. To connect the Ethernet controller
to a repeater or switch, use a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For
100/1000 Mbps operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation,
Category 3, or better, cabling must be used.
There are no additional cabling requirements, other than for system power,
keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections.
Installability
The System x3400 M2 server requires about 30 minutes for installation. Installation
includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is
required to install an operating system, additional adapters, or features.
