If a server is to be installed in a non-IBM rack or cabinet, you must ensure that the rack
conforms to the EIA
Note: It is the client's responsibility to ensure that the installation of the drawer in the
preferred rack or cabinet results in a configuration that is stable, serviceable, safe, and
compatible with the drawer requirements for power, cooling, cable management, weight,
and rail security.
