An external management console is available as an optional feature and as a
redundant management console for environments with high-availability
requirements. If you use Copy Services, a redundant management console
configuration is especially important.
The internal management console is included with every primary base model and
is mounted in a pull-out tray for convenience and security. The external
management console must be installed in an external 19-inch system rack. This
rack can be an IBM rack or a non-IBM rack. The rack must conform to the required
specifications. When you order an external management console, the hardware that
you require to install the management console into the rack is included with it.
Tip: To ensure that your IBM service representative can quickly and easily access
an external management console, place the external management console rack
within 15.2 m (50 ft) of the storage units that are connected to it.
Notes:
1. To help preserve console function, the external and the internal
management console units are unavailable as a general-purpose
computing resource.
2. The external management console satisfies all applicable requirements
of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as long as assistive technology
properly inter-operates with it.
