Racks can be heavy when populated with several drawers. Use the Weight distribution distances for racks
when loaded and Floor loading for racks when loaded tables to ensure proper floor loading and weight
distribution.
Model 7014-T00 rack with optional DC power distribution panel
Hardware specifications provide detailed information for your rack, including dimensions, electrical,
power, temperature, environment, and service clearances.
Feature code (FC) 6117 (-48 V dc power distribution panel (PDP))
This feature provides a top-mounted, dual DC power distribution panel for a rack that can contain varying
quantities of central processing unit (CPU) drawers, storage subsystems, or both. Up to two DC H80
systems or two DC M80 systems are supported, in addition to up to four DC storage subsystems. This
feature is built without attached power cables. It comes with a series of power connectors that are built
into its rear bulkhead. The appropriate DC power cables are included with supported drawer systems and
plug into the power connectors at the rear of the 6117 PDP.
FC EPB8 (-48 V dc power distribution panel (PDP))
This feature provides a top-mounted -48 V dc PDP for model 7014-T00 racks that can contain varying
quantities of drawers, storage subsystems, and OEM equipment. This feature is preinstalled on the 7014-
T00 rack. The PDP sits on top of the rack and does not take up any EIA space. The PDP supports
redundant power with a split A and B side. Each side can support up to 10 circuit breakers that are rated 5
- 90 amperes with a maximum load of 600 amperes. FC EPB8 does not include circuit breakers or DC
power cables. The circuit breakers and associated DC power cables are typically supplied with IBM
products. For OEM products, you must provide the applicable circuit breakers and DC power cables.
Note: Front doors are optional on the 7014-T00 rack.
