Figure 1-3 Server (Front View Without Bezel)
The server has the following dimensions:
•
Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into standard 36-inch deep rack:
25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface
26.7 inches from front rack column to MP Core I/O connector surface
30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front
rack columns.
•
Width: 44.45 cm (17.5 inches), constrained by EIA standard 19 inch racks.
•
Height: 10U – 0.54 cm = 43.91 cm (17.287 inches). This is the appropriate height for a product
that consumes 10U of rack height while allowing adequate clearance between products
directly above and below this product. Fitting four server units per 2 m rack and upgrade
of current 10U height products in the future are the main height constraints.
The mass storage section located in the front enables access to the 3.5-inch hard drives without
removal of the bezel. This is especially helpful when the system is mounted in the lowest position
in a rack. The mass storage bay also accommodates one 5.25-inch removable media device. The
front panel display board, containing LEDs and the system power switch, is located directly
above the 5.25-inch removable media bay.
Below the mass storage section and behind the removable front bezel are two, N+1 PCI-X power
supplies.
The bulk power supply section is partitioned by a sealed metallic enclosure located in the bottom
of the package. This enclosure houses the N+1 fully redundant BPSs. Install these power supplies
from the front of the server after removing the front bezel.
