Location in the Rack
The base IBM Cloud Pak for Data System consists of four main components (1G
switch, 25G switch, two compute chassis) that are designed to be integrated in the
same rack with PDUs. The recommended component placement is shown in Figure 2
below. Other configurations can be used if IBM Safety Notices translations Pub # G229-
9054 rules are followed, and the lengths of the supplied cables are not exceeded. The
Cloud Pak for Data System requires all IBM supplied and serviceable components
to be installed below the 42U height. Components on slides, such as server
chassis and connector nodes, must be located at or below U26.
