IBM 7212 Model 102 TotalStorage Storage device enclosure
The IBM 7212 Model 102 is designed to provide efficient and convenient storage expansion
capabilities for selected IBM Sserver p5, pSeries, and RS/6000 servers. The IBM 7212
Model 102 is a 1U rack-mountable option that can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack
using an optional rack-mount hardware feature kit. The 7212 Model 102 has two bays that
can accommodate any of the following storage drive features:
DDS Gen 5 DAT72 Tape Drive provides physical storage capacity of 36 GB (72 GB with
2:1 compression) per data cartridge.
VXA-2 Tape Drive provides a media capacity of up to 80 GB (160 GB with 2:1
compression) physical data storage capacity per cartridge.
Digital Data Storage (DDS-4) tape drive with 20 GB native data capacity per tape cartridge
and a native physical data transfer rate of up to 3 MBps, uses 2:1 compression so that a
single tape cartridge can store up to 40 GB of data.
DVD-ROM drive is a 5.25-inch, half-high device. It can read 640 MB CD-ROM and 4.7 GB
DVD-RAM media. It can be used for Alternate IPL
4
(IBM-distributed CD-ROM media only)
and program distribution.
DVD-RAM drive with up to 2.7 MBps throughput. Using 3:1 compression, a single disk can
store up to 28 GB of data. Supported DVD disk native capacities on a single DVD-RAM
disk are as follows: up to 2.6 GB, 4.7 GB, 5.2 GB, and 9.4 GB.
1.6.6 OEM rack
The p5-570 can be installed in a suitable OEM rack, as long as the rack conforms to the
EIA-310-D standard and careful consideration is given to the additional 2.75 inches required
on the left front side for interconnect cables when multiple drawers installed and connected.
This standard is published by the Electrical Industries Alliance, and a summary of this
standard is available in the publication Site and Hardware Planning Information, SA38-0508.
The key points that are mentioned in this standard are:
Any rack that is used must be capable of supporting 15.9 kg (35 lb) per EIA unit
(44.5 mm [1.75 in]) of rack height.
To ensure proper rail alignment, the rack must have mounting flanges that are at least
494 mm (19.45 in) across the width of the rack and 719 mm (28.3 in) between the front
and rear rack flanges.
It may be necessary to supply additional hardware, such as fasteners, for use in some
manufacturer’s racks.
Note: The HMC serial port can be used for external modem attachment if the Service
Agent call-home function is implemented, and the Ethernet ports are used to communicate
to the service processor in p5-570 systems. An Ethernet cable (FC 7801 or 7802) is
required to attach the HMC to the p5-570 system it controls.
