Chapter 3. IBM System x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 115
Because a short delay in qualification for several of these operating systems might exist,
check the ServerProven Operating System support page for a current statement at the
following website:

Table 3-36 summarizes the hardware maximums of the possible x3850 X5 configurations.

3.17 Rack considerations
The x3850 X5 has the following physical specifications:
Width: 440 mm (17.3 inches)
Depth: 712 mm (28.0 inches)
Height: 173 mm (6.8 inches) or 4 rack units (4U)
Minimum configuration: 35.4 kg (78 lb)
Maximum configuration: 49.9 kg (110 lb)
The x3850 X5 4U, rack-drawer models can be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet that is
designed for 26-inch deep devices, such as the NetBAY42 ER, NetBAY42 SR, NetBAY25 SR,
or NetBAY11.
The 5U combination of MAX5 and x3850 X5 is mechanically joined and functions as a single
unit. Adding the MAX5 to the x3850 X5 requires a change of the Electronic Industries Alliance
(EIA) flange kit. The EIA flange kit, which ships standard with the 4U x3850 X5, must be
removed and replaced with the 5U flange kit that ships standard with the MAX5.
If using a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of at
least 71.1 cm (28 in). Adequate space must be maintained from the slide assembly to the
front door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the door to close and provide
adequate air flow:
5 cm (2 inches) for the front bezel (approximate)
2.5 cm (1 inch) for air flow (approximate)
