It is hinged on the left side so it can swing out of the way for easy access to the rack
drawers when necessary. The Ruggedized Rack Feature also includes hardware for
bolting the rack to a concrete floor or a similar surface, and bolt-in steel filler panels for any
unoccupied spaces in the rack.
򐂰 Weights are as follows:
– T00 base empty rack: 244 kg (535 lb.)
– T00 full rack: 816 kg (1795 lb.)
– Maximum weight of drawers is 572 kg (1260 lb.)
– Maximum weight of drawers in a zone 4 earthquake environment is 490 kg (1080 lb.).
This number equates to 13.6 kg (30 lb.) per EIA.
1.8.2 IBM 7014 Model T42 rack
The 2.0-meter (79.3-inch) Model T42 addresses the client requirement for a tall enclosure to
house the maximum amount of equipment in the smallest possible floor space. The following
features are for the model T42 rack (which differ from the model T00):
򐂰 The T42 rack has 42U (EIA units) of usable space (6U of additional space).
򐂰 The model T42 supports AC power only.
򐂰 Weights are as follows:
– T42 base empty rack: 261 kg (575 lb.)
– T42 full rack: 930 kg (2045 lb.)
The available door options for T42 rack are shown in Figure 1-4.

򐂰 The 2.0 m Rack Trim Kit (#6272) is used, if no front door is used in the rack.
Important: If additional weight is added to the top of the rack, for example adding #6117,
the 490 kg (1080 lb.) must be reduced by the weight of the addition. As an example, #6117
weighs approximately 45 kg (100 lb.) so the new maximum weight of drawers that the rack
can support in a zone 4 earthquake environment is 445 kg (980 lb.). In the zone 4
earthquake environment, the rack must be configured starting with the heavier drawers at
the bottom of the rack.
