Differences between IBM servers
Although you cannot upgrade to a zEC12 from any previous IBM server except the z196 or z10
minimum comparison information is provided here for those who may be placing a zEC12 on a raised
floor with G5/G6, z900, z990, z9

Note:
1. All server frames are the same width, approximately 784 mm (30.9 in) with the side covers installed.
2. The zEC12 frames, with the optional I/O cabling top exit feature (FC 7942), are 937 mm (36.9 in) wide.
3. The zEC12, z196, z10 EC, z9 EC, and z990 always consist of two frames. G5/G6 and z900 servers may be either
one or two frames, depending on configuration. z900 servers may also have a third frame for Internal Battery
Features.
4. Major differences in power and processor packaging, cooling, and I/O cages exist between zEC12, z196, z10 EC,
z9 EC, z990, z900, and G5/G6 servers.
If you are replacing an existing IBM server, carefully read the Installation Manual for Physical Planning
(available on the Resource Link web site) to determine actual differences between your installed IBM
server and the zEC12. Plan views, physical dimensions, service clearances, aisle spacing, and power and
cooling requirements may be substantially different.
