1.5.2 IBM RS/6000 7014 Model T42 Enterprise Rack

The 2.0-meter (79.3-inch) Model T42 is the rack that will address the special requirements of
customers who want a tall enclosure to house the maximum amount of equipment in the
smallest possible floor space. The features that differ in the Model T42 rack from the Model
T00 include the following:
42 EIA units (42U) of usable space
AC power support only
Weight:
– T42 base empty rack: 261 kg (575 pounds)
– T42 full rack: 930 kg (2045 pounds)

1.5.3 AC Power Distribution Unit and rack content

For rack models T00 and T42 9-outlet PDUs are available.
PDUs with nine outlets (FC 9176, 9177, 9178, 7176, 7177, and 7178) are available. A T42
rack configured for the maximum number of power outlets would have six PDUs (two
mounted horizontally requiring 2U of rack space), for a total of 54 power outlets.
The p5-550 can be connected to any PDU that is available for the 7014-T00 or 7014-T42
racks.
For detailed power cords requirements and power cord feature codes, see the publication
Site and Hardware Planning Information, SA38-0508. An online copy can be found at:

The first four PDUs ordered for a rack will be mounted vertically in the sides of the rack,
occupying all the four PDU bays available. Any additional PDUs will be mounted horizontally
in the rear of the rack and will occupy 1U of rack space.
Note: Each p5-550, or a system drawer to be mounted in the rack, requires two power
cords, which are not included in the base system order.
The Universal PDU (FC 7188) and the optional Universal PDU to be mounted horizontally in
the rack (FC 9188) will be available on December 31, 2004, supporting a wide range of
country requirements and electrical power specifications. Each Universal PDU provides 12
C13 power outlets for use within a 7014-T00 or 7014-T42 rack, compared to nine C13 power
outlets provided by FC 7176 or FC 7177 PDUs. Nine different power cord features can be
used to connect the PDU to a wall power outlet. Each power cord provides the unique design
characteristics for the different power requirements. To match new power requirements,
these power cords can be requested with an initial order of the rack, or with a later upgrade of
the rack features.
