Rack-mounting rules
Consider the following primary rules when you mount the system into a rack:
The system can be placed at any location in the rack. For rack stability, start filling a rack
from the bottom.
Any remaining space in the rack can be used to install other systems or peripheral devices
if the maximum permissible weight of the rack is not exceeded and the installation rules for
these devices are followed.
Before placing the system into the service position, be sure to follow the rack
manufacturer's safety instructions regarding rack stability.
Useful rack additions
This section highlights several rack addition solutions for Power Systems rack-based

OEM racks
The system can be installed in a suitable OEM rack if that the rack conforms to the EIA-310-D
standard for 19-inch racks. This standard is published by the Electrical Industries Alliance. For
