Oem Rack - IBM Power 570 Technical Overview And Introduction

Draft Document for Review May 22, 2009 3:10 pm
IBM PS/2 Travel Keyboards are supported on the 7316-TF3 for use in configurations where
only PS/2 keyboard ports are available.
The IBM 7316-TF3 Flat Panel Console Kit provides an option for the USB Travel Keyboards
with UltraNav. The keyboard enables the 7316-TF3 to be connected to systems that do not
have PS/2 keyboard ports. The USB Travel Keyboard can be directly attached to an available
integrated USB port or a supported USB adapter (FC 2738) on System p5 servers or
7310-CR3 and 7315-CR3 HMCs.
The Netbay LCM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) Switch (FC 4202) provides users single-point
access and control of up to 64 servers from a single console. The Netbay LCM Switch has a
maximum video resolution of 1600 x 280 and mounts in a 1 U drawer behind the 7316-TF3
monitor. A minimum of one LCM feature (FC 4268) or USB feature (FC 4269) is required with
a Netbay LCM Switch (FC 4202). Each feature can support up to four systems. When
connecting to a Power 570, FC 4269 provides connection to the server USB ports.
When selecting the LCM Switch, consider the following information:
The KVM Conversion Option (KCO) cable (FC 4268) is used with systems with PS/2 style
keyboard, display, and mouse ports.
The USB cable (FC 4269) is used with systems with USB keyboard or mouse ports.
The switch offers four ports for server connections. Each port in the switch can connect a
maximum of 16 systems:
– One KCO cable (FC 4268) or USB cable (FC 4269) is required for every four systems
supported on the switch.
– A maximum of 16 KCO cables or USB cables per port can be used with the Netbay
LCM Switch to connect up to 64 servers.
Note: A server microcode update might be required on installed systems for boot-time
System Management Services (SMS) menu support of the USB keyboards. The update
might also be required for the LCM switch on the 7316-TF3 console (FC 4202). For
microcode updates, see the following URL:

We recommend that you have the 7316-TF3 installed between EIA 20 to 25 of the rack for
ease of use. The 7316-TF3 or any other graphics monitor requires the POWER GXT135P
graphics accelerator (FC 1980) to be installed in the server, or some other graphics
accelerator, if supported.

1.4.7 OEM rack

The system can be installed in a suitable OEM rack, provided that the rack conforms to the
EIA-310-D standard for 19-inch racks. This standard is published by the Electrical Industries
Alliance, and a summary of this standard is available in the publication IBM System p5,
eServer p5 and i5, and OpenPower Planning, SA38-0508.
The key points mentioned in this documentation are as follows:
The front rack opening must be 451 mm wide + 0.75 mm (17.75 in. + 0.03 in.), and the
rail-mounting holes must be 465 mm + 0.8 mm (18.3 in. + 0.03 in.) apart on center
(horizontal width between the vertical columns of holes on the two front-mounting flanges
and on the two rear-mounting flanges). See Figure 1-5 on page 20 for a top view showing
the specification dimensions.
