Moving The System To The Installation Site; Power And Electrical Requirements - IBM RS/60000 Series Site And Hardware Planning Information

Moving the System to the Installation Site

The customer should determine the path that must be taken to move the system from the delivery location
to the installation site. The customer should verify that the height of all doorways, elevators, and so on are
sufficient to allow moving the system to the installation site. The customer should also verify that the
weight limitations of elevators, ramps, and so on are sufficient to allow moving the system to the
installation site. If the height or weight of the system can cause a problem when the system is moved to
the installation site, the customer should contact their local site planning, marketing, or sales
representative.

Power and Electrical Requirements

Redundant power and line cords are standard on the Eserver pSeries 670. The system uses dual A/C
power cords. For maximum availability, each of the line cords should be fed from independent power grids.
The following table illustrates electrical and thermal characteristics for the Eserver pSeries 670 when the
input power source is three-phase alternating current.
Rated Voltage (V ac, 3 phase)
Rated Current (A, per phase)
Frequency (Hertz)
Power (Maximum in kW)
Typical, full load power factor (pf)
Inrush current (Amps)
Thermal output (Maximum kBtu/hr)
Note: Inrush currents occur only at initial application of power (very short duration for charging capacitors). No
inrush currents occur during the normal power off-on cycle.
The following table illustrates electrical and thermal characteristics for the Eserver pSeries 670 when the
input power source is single-phase alternating current.
Rated Voltage (V ac, single phase)
Rated Current (A, per phase)
Frequency (Hertz)
Power (Maximum in kW)
Typical, full load power factor (pf)
Inrush current (Amps)
Thermal output (Maximum kBtu/hr)
Note: Inrush currents occur only at initial application of power (very short duration for charging capacitors). No
inrush currents occur during the normal power off-on cycle.
The following table illustrates the line cord options for the Eserver pSeries 670 with their geographic,
breaker rating, and cord information when the input power source is three-phase alternating current.
