12 IBM Power System S822 Technical Overview and Introduction
1.8 System racks
The Power S822 is designed to mount in the 36U 7014-T00 (#0551), the 42U 7014-T42
(#0553), or the IBM 42U Slim Rack (7965-94Y) rack. These racks are built to the 19-inch
EIA 310D standard.
If a system is to be installed in a rack or cabinet that is not IBM, ensure that the rack meets
the requirements described in 1.8.10, “OEM rack” on page 21.
1.8.1 IBM 7014 Model T00 rack
The 1.8-meter (71-inch) model T00 is compatible with past and present IBM Power Systems
servers. The features of the T00 rack are as follows:
򐂰 Has 36U (EIA units) of usable space.
򐂰 Has optional removable side panels.
򐂰 Has optional side-to-side mounting hardware for joining multiple racks.
򐂰 Has increased power distribution and weight capacity.
򐂰 Supports both AC and DC configurations.
򐂰 Up to four power distribution units (PDUs) can be mounted in the PDU bays (see
Figure 1-5 on page 16), but others can fit inside the rack. See 1.8.7, “The AC power
distribution unit and rack content” on page 15.
򐂰 For the T00 rack three door options are available:
– Front Door for 1.8 m Rack (#6068)
This feature provides an attractive black full height rack door. The door is steel, with a
perforated flat front surface. The perforation pattern extends from the bottom to the top
of the door to enhance ventilation and provide some visibility into the rack.
– A 1.8 m Rack Acoustic Door (#6248)
This feature provides a front and rear rack door designed to reduce acoustic sound
levels in a general business environment.
– A 1.8 m Rack Trim Kit (#6263)
If no front door will be used in the rack, this feature provides a decorative trim kit for the
front.
򐂰 Ruggedized Rack Feature
For enhanced rigidity and stability of the rack, the optional Ruggedized Rack Feature
(#6080) provides additional hardware that reinforces the rack and anchors it to the floor.
This hardware is designed primarily for use in locations where earthquakes are a concern.
The feature includes a large steel brace or truss that bolts into the rear of the rack.
Order information: The racking approach for the initial order must be either a 7014-T00,
7014-T42, or 7965-94Y. If an additional rack is required for I/O expansion drawers as an
MES to an existing system, either a feature 0551, 0553, or ER05 rack must be ordered.
Responsibility: The client is responsible for ensuring 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.
