Rack cabinets and options


Attention
Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.


General rack placement rules and other information:

  1. Place the heavier components toward the bottom of the rack
    (i.e., UPS, then servers or storage, etc.).
  2. Do not extend more than one component on slide rails at a time.
  3. Utilize sidewall compartments for mounting PDUs and console
    switches without using EIA space.
  4. Consider user and service requirements when mounting components
    in a rack.
  5. Consider extension of cable management arms and overall cable
    routing when selecting length of power, console, and storage cables.
