Rack installation specifications for racks not purchased from IBM
Learn the requirements and specifications for installing IBM systems into racks that were not purchased
from IBM.
This topic provides requirements and specifications for 19-inch racks. These requirements and
specifications are provided as an aid to help you understand the requirements to install IBM systems into
racks. It is your responsibility, working with your rack manufacturer, to ensure that the rack chosen
meets the requirements and specifications that are listed here. Mechanical drawings of the rack, if
available from the manufacturer, are recommended for comparison against the requirements and
specifications.
IBM maintenance services and installation planning services do not cover verification of non-IBM racks
for compliance to Power Systems
™
rack specifications. IBM offers racks for IBM products that are tested
and verified by IBM development labs to comply with applicable safety and regulatory requirements.
