1.3 Enterprise racks
The following description provides an overview of racks available from IBM in which the Model
6C1 can be mounted. At the time of writing, no feature is available to convert a tower model to
a rack mount model. Check with your IBM representative to determine the availability of this
feature.
The Enterprise Rack Models T00 and T42 are 19-inch wide racks for general use with
pSeries and RS/6000 rack-based or rack drawer based systems. The rack provides increased
capacity, greater flexibility, and improved floor space utilization.
Special specifications are required if you want to install an IBM pSeries or RS/6000 system in
a non-pSeries or non-RS/6000 racks or cabinets. It is ultimately your responsibility to ensure
that the installation of the drawer in your preferred rack or cabinet results in a configuration
that is stable, serviceable, safe, and compatible with the drawer requirements for power,
cooling, cable management, weight, and rail securement.
To determine compliance to the following specifications, you may need to get rack
specification and certification information from your rack manufacturers representative. IBM
Site Hardware and Planning Information, as well as specific product Installation Guides, will
contain more detailed product information.
Your IBM Sales Representative or Installation Planning Representative will have access to
these documents. Additionally, your IBM Branch Office Specialist or your IBM Installation
Planning Representative may be able to assist you, as needed, in verifying that your
non-pSeries rack or cabinet complies with the requirements in this specification.
