Towers, racks, and high-speed link 285
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486Towr.fm
Racks
Options are available to rack mount selected iSeries server models and towers.
Rack mounting allows multiple components to be mounted in a rack, conserving
floor space and providing a secure environment for the devices.
#0550 iSeries Rack
The #0550 iSeries Rack is a 1.8-meter rack with an iSeries 830 model installed.
The #0550 is ordered as a feature to allow a Model 830 to be installed in the rack.
The Model 830 occupies the lower 26 EIA units of the rack, leaving 10 EIA units
available for installation of other devices. When an #0550 is ordered, a #5101 30
Disk Unit Expansion is included in the 830 server.
The marketing configurator does not manage rack space in the #0550 rack.
Up to two PDUs may be installed in the #0550. The PDUs may be ordered as
part of the initial order or added at a later time. Each PDU has six power sockets
that provide power for devices that support the #1422 PDU Line Cord. A country
(region)-specific line cord must be ordered for each PDU to connect to external
power. The supported PDUs are:
#5160 Power Distribution Unit - 1 Phase NEMA
#5161 Power Distribution Unit - 1 Phase IEC
#5162 Power Distribution Unit - 2 of 3 Phase
The Model 830 does not support the #1422 PDU Line Cord and cannot be
powered by a PDU. A country (region)-specific line cord must be ordered for the
830 installed in the #0550 iSeries Rack.
#0551 iSeries Rack
The #0551 iSeries Rack is an empty 1.8-meter rack that provides a total of 36
EIA units of space. The #0551 can be ordered as a feature of an iSeries server
as part of an initial order or added at a later time. The following features specify
the means of populating the #0551:
#0121 Lower Unit in Rack Specify (270) (
withdrawn from marketing 21
November 2003)
#0122 Upper Unit in Rack Specify (270) (
withdrawn from marketing 21
November 2003)
Note: The #0550 is only valid on an initial order. Existing 830 servers cannot
be installed in a rack due to weight restrictions.
