1.6.1 IBM RS/6000 7014 Model T00 Enterprise Rack
The 1.8-meter (71-inch) Model T00 is compatible with past and current p5, pSeries, and
RS/6000 racks, and is designed for use in all situations that previously used the older rack
models R00 and S00. The T00 rack has the following features:
36 EIA units (36U) of usable space.
Optional removable side panels.
Optional highly perforated front door.
Optional side-to-side mounting hardware for joining multiple racks.
Standard black or optional white color in OEM format.
Increased power distribution and weight capacity.
Optional reinforced (ruggedized) rack feature (FC 6080) provides added earthquake
protection with modular rear brace, concrete floor bolt-down hardware, and bolt-in steel
front filler panels.
Support for both AC and DC configurations.
DC rack height is increased to 1926 mm (75.8 in) if a power distribution panel is fixed to
the top of the rack.
Up to four Power Distribution Units (PDUs) can be mounted in the proper bays, but others
can fit inside the rack. (See 1.6.3, “AC Power Distribution Unit and rack content” on
page 14.)
An optional rack status beacon (FC 4690). This beacon is designed to be placed on top of
a rack and cabled to servers, such as a p5-570, and to other components, such as a 7311
I/O drawer, inside the rack. Servers can be programmed to illuminate the beacon in
response to a detected problem or changes in system status.
A rack status beacon junction box (FC 4693) should be used to connect multiple servers
and I/O drawers to the beacon. This feature provides six input connectors and one output
connector for the rack. To connect the servers or other components to the junction box or
the junction box to the rack, status beacon cables (FC 4691) are necessary. Multiple
junction boxes can be linked in a series using daisy chain cables (FC 4692).
