Notes:
1. Seven (7) and eight (8) module configurations are not supported.
2. Power consumption for partial rack configurations are typical values and are provided
for references purposes only. To support concurrent capacity upgrades, the installation
site must provide sufficient power capacity to support high performance on a full rack
configuration of fifteen modules.
The IBM XIV Storage System supports both overhead and under-floor cabling
configurations.
To prepare the power cables, you must provide your IBM representative with the
following information before the installation:
v The distance of the rack from the power receptacles.
v The ceiling or floor power-cabling scheme.
