1.14 System racks

The Power 720 and Power 740 and their I/O drawers are designed to mount in the 25U
7014-S25 (FC 0555), 36U 7014-T00 (FC 0551), or 42U 7014-T42 (FC 0553) rack. These
racks are built to the 19-inch EIA standard.
Order information: A new Power 720 or Power 740 server can be ordered with the
appropriate 7014 rack model. The racks are available as features of the Power 720 and
Power 740 only when an additional I/O drawer for an existing system (MES order) is
ordered. The rack feature code must be used if IBM manufacturing must integrate the
newly ordered I/O drawer in a 19-inch rack before shipping the MES order.
If a system is to be installed in a rack or cabinet that is not from IBM, ensure that the rack
meets the requirements that are described in 1.14.10, "OEM rack" on page 39.
Responsibility: The client is responsible 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.
