Cloud Pak for Data System 2U chassis
description
The IBM Cloud Pak for Data Systems, 2U chassis is a Lenovo based, four-server
platform with integrated storage, processing and I/O. The chassis comes as a
pretested building block loaded with software. The base system utilizes two chassis,
but expansion chassis can be included with the initial deployment or at a later date.
The chassis is can be installed in an IBM Cloud Pak rack or a customer supplied rack
meeting the guidelines in the Customer Install Guide, Rack and System document
included on the Safety and Regulatory CD shipped with your Cloud Pak for Data
System components. Additional details can be found in the Site Prep Guide at the IBM
Cloud Pak for Data System site.
The chassis includes multiple cold air inlets used to draw in cold air from the front of the
rack. DO NOT BLOCK ANY INLET OR EXHAUST DUCTS, VENTS OR PORTS.

for Data System and may void your warranty.
Power can be supplied by the available IBM Cloud Pak for Data System PDUs and line
cords or by customer supplied PDUs meeting the power requirements of the Cloud Pak
for Data System components.
If this is a customer install, IBM installation services will wire and power the system
once all racks, power and components are in place.
