i. Series Trim Kit or Front Door Trim kit • Either a trim kit or front door must be specified. Only one can physically be installed on a rack at the same time. They are mutually exclusive. • • © 2004 IBM Corporation – Either a #6068 front door or a #6246 trim kit is ordered with the 1. 8 m rack. – Either a #6069 front door or a #6247 trim kit is ordered with the 2 m rack. If a front door is ordered later as an MES feature, the trim kit will need to be removed before the door and its hinges can be installed. The trim kit and front door helps provides proper airflow. The trim kit gives easier access to the equipment racked inside. The door provides better security with the optional security feature. The front door is metal and is perforated (for air flow) A rear door for the rack is always provided (no feature code). Front door

i. Series Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Optional for n Model 520, 550, 570, 270, 800, 810 and 825 in a rack. Note that if you use a PDU, there is less worry about the CEC power cord being long enough to reach an under-the-raised-floor power outlet when CEC in a drawer/tray is pulled forward. n Recommend 2 PDUs for units with redundant power supplies/cords. Further recommend separate power sources for the 2 PDUs. Redundant power supply/cord is an option for 520 or 550 and is standard for 570/825. n #0595 in a rack. Needs PDU line cords. n #5790 can use either PDU line cord or wall line cord. Required for n #0578 and #0588 in a rack. Each #0578 or #0588 comes with two PDU compatible line cords. (No line cord specify codes are needed. ) Not applicable for n the #5094, #5294, #8093, #8094, #5074 (#0123), #5075, #5079, #9079 (#0125), Model 830 server (#0550). These units cannot be plugged into a PDU. Unlike the earlier, bulkier Power Control Compartments (PCCs) used in 9309 rack, the PDUs are not involved in any power-down sequencing commands from the server.

FAQs & Additional Information • Using x. Series/p. Series racks and non. IBM racks • Miscellaneous © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: Can I put my i. Series equipment in a p. Series or x. Series or Total. Storage rack instead of an i. Series rack? What about p. Series or x. Series or Total. Storage equipment in an i. Series rack? A: Yes, The physical rack frame of the 7014 (p. Series), 9308 (x. Series), 2101 ( Total. Storage), and #0551/3 (i. Series) is identical. The equipment will fit into the rack. But there are differences in the rack options offered due to different value propositions of each product line. These differences are reflected in different names of the same physical feature, different features, different ordering rules, different heights, different prices, different PDUs, different options, etc. If you want to insert an i. Series server in an 7014, 9308 or 2101; AAS/WTAAS or e. Config does not recognize this and does not offer any planning assistance. The customer/sales team must provide the planning expertise. Things to consider include: - the 7014 ships a front anti-tip plate when AAS/WTAAS records indicate the rack is fairly full. The older 9308 s did not include the front anti-tip plate. An anti-tip plate is especially important to have if an i. Series model 800/810/825 is installed in the rack. -PDUs can be different and support different voltage/amperages. Power cords from server equipment to the PDU is probably the same (especially if p. Series and i. Series), but should be checked. -The older 7014 s are rated using the older EIA 310 -C vs 310 -D specifications. This should not impact the ability to use i. Series equipment. -Standard IBM manufacturing processes do not insert i. Series into non-i. Series rack before shipping out. Make sure the IBM service organization is aware of what you are doing and agrees IN ADVANCE to support the configuration. The best time to resolve such questions is before a service call is needed. Though IBM Service should have no problem, there can be implications to airflow (cooling), equipment placement (customer/service safety), harmonic vibration, etc depending on what else is installed in the rack. IBM Service has the right to not provide support if they feel there are potential safety, functional or reliability concerns. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: Can I put my i. Series equipment in an OEM rack? A: Yes, but…. Recommend contacting IBM Service BEFORE doing this. Though they will probably support this configuration, key considerations include: Depth: The IBM 0551/0553 racks all have a depth of approximately 28 inches between the front and back vertical supports. Other vendors may have different depths. - 520 #7884 is designed for the IBM #0551/3 rack and its rails do not accommodate a deeper depth. #7883 adjusts between 20. 5 inches to 29. 5 inches. - 550 #7886 is designed for the IBM #0551/3 rack and its rails do not accommodate a deeper depth. #7798 adjusts between 27. 25 inches to 29. 25 inches. - 570 is designed for the #0551/3 rack and uses fixed rails, not sliding). These rails accommodate deeper depth - I/O: #0595 adjusts from approximately 26 to 29 inches. #0588 or #0578 or #5790 were designed for the IBM #0551/3 28 -inch depth rack and do not fit other depths. Mounting holes: Other vendors may interpret the EIA 310 -D hole standards in a differently than IBM. The vendor may not have adapters to accommodate the mounting hardware of other vendors. Even the OEM rack (rail) features IBM provides use the same mounting hole pattern as the IBM rack rails. 570: Make sure side clearance is adequate for the flex assembly cables between 570 processor enclosures (8 -way and larger). A minimum of 70 mm or 2. 75 inches is required outside of the rail mounting flange. General: The 19 -inch rack must have the physical strength for what you are planning. Operator/service personnel safety, accessibility, cooling, electromagnetic interference, harmonic vibration, etc. must be considered. Because of these considerations, it is recommended that IBM Service be consulted in advance. IBM can refuse to service the equipment and warranties can be voided if they believe there are likely to be problems. This can even happen after initially accepting the configuration if additional information becomes available. No Configurator: Also be aware that if you rack i. Series servers outside of an #0551/0553, AAS/WTAAS or e. Config does not offer any planning assistance. The customer/sales team must provide the planning expertise. Things to consider include: anti-tip plates, doors (IBM doors are perforated and have been tested to ensure adequate airflow), PDUs, cable management, weight, etc. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: What does IBM Service Guidelines Say About non-IBM Racks? A: IBM e. Server i 5 servers are designed to be installed in industry-standard EIA racks. The following resources provide details about installation in either non-IBM racks or in IBM racks not specifically listed as 'supported' in marketing materials. The customer should use these resources, and work with their seller (either IBM or Business Partner) to assess whether the proposed rack is acceptable for the proposed purpose, and to order the materials necessary to mount their system in a particular rack. It is important to consider that IBM Service's involvement in implementing any solution not specifically supported by IBM's published marketing materials is considered a billable service. This includes consultation on implementing solutions involving non-IBM racks or IBM racks which are not specifically listed as 'supported' in the marketing materials for the system in question. The rack must meet EIA industry standards, and it must meet the technical requirements set out in the e. Server Information Center (http: //publib. boulder. ibm. com/infocenter/eserver/v 1 r 2 s/en_US/index. htm ) in the Non-IBM Rack Specifications of the Planning section of the Info. Center. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that these specifications are met. Planning in advance, doing one's "homework" and making sure all technical and safety requirements are met are the key to ensuring the resulting solution can be maintained safely and, therefore, supported by IBM service. The IBM service representative and Field Manager responsible for the account in question should assess the proposed scenario based on the information above and based on the customer's assurance that the rack meets EIA industry standards and other technical and safety requirements as specified in the Information Center documentation. In addition, the device must be mounted using mounting hardware and rails engineered to meet or exceed the specifications for the rails and mounting hardware normally provided by IBM for the purpose of mounting the system in a rack. It is important to understand that for customer set up systems (CSU) such as the model 520, any IBM installation/set up activity related to a CSU device is for fee only. The device is designed/priced for customer set up/installation. So the customer should install these CSU devices whether it is installed as a desk-side or rack-mount system, unless the customer has agreed to pay IBM a fee to install/set up the system. If the customer is willing to pay IBM for a technical assessment of the rack, and technical assistance is required, contact the installation planning focal point for the country or area. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: Can I convert my i. Series desk side 520 to a rack mounted 520? 5 2 0 520 0551/3 rack Yes. This capability was announced in October 2004. Order a chargeable MES conversion to FC#7884 (rack mount) from #7885 (desk side). This is a Customer Set Up (CSU) MES. This was announced with a 1 Q 05 GA date. Note that a conversion to 520 #7883 OEM rack mount was not announced. Nor were conversions from 520 rack mount to desk side configuration. Conversions among 550 configuration options were also not announced. There is a sneaky way to get the OEM rails for an already-shipped 520 with #7884 rackmount. This does NOT apply to #7885 deskside configurations. You can order the chargeable RPQ 8 A 1282 for the p. Series 7029 -6 C 3. This will cause the same physical adjustable rails that the 520 uses for OEM rack #7883 to be shipped. This can be done as a p. Series bulk MES against a serial number 00000 of the 7029. That way you don't need an installed p. Series server against which you order the MES. The 520 AAS/WTAAS records should be changed after the installation via a no-charge RPO MES to delete #7884 and add #7883. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: Why can't I field rack a #5094 or #5074? = ? FC # 5094 FC # 0551 FC # 5094 equivalent FC # 5294 A: Though physically possible, the #5094 and #5074 are too heavy (each can be > 600 pounds or 280 kg) to safely install in the field. IBM manufacturing doesn't even do this. IBM manufacturing starts from a separate fabrication assembly consisting of a rack and two #5094/5074 equivalent shells already inside the rack to build a #5294/5079. The small number of requests for this capability has not made practical the investment in specialized lifting equipment and training to do this in the field. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: Why can't I put an 825 and #5094 in the same rack? 825 #0138 FC # 5094 FC # 0551 A: Though physically possible, this is not available today. Ordering, manufacturing and shipping infrastructure is not in place to offer a single #5094 in a rack. Previously IBM found almost no demand for a single #5074 in a rack and withdrew that option. If there is enough demand identified to support the creation of a "single 5094 in a rack" offering, this will be reevaluated. Inserting a #5094 in a rack at the customer site is covered on the previous slide. The ability to add a 825 to a rack is already in place. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Q: Can I convert my 5095/0595 or 5088/0588 ? # 5 0 9 5 #0595 #5088 #0588 0551 rack 5094 tower 0551 rack To date few requests for these conversions have been made. Ordering/shipping/billing structure has not been created. Bill-of-material and service personnel instructions would have to be created. The price of the conversion has not been estimated, but if it was significant portion of the original price, it might preclude such an MES conversion’s reasonability. If this is a requirement for your environment, submitting an RPQ request is probably the best input. If enough requests are submitted, the demand for such a conversion is more easily understood by IBM. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Miscellaneous – 520/550/570 • If one 520/550/570 is ordered from IBM along with a #0551/0553 rack, IBM Manufacturing will insert the one 520/ 550/570 in the rack and ship both together if the IBM rackmount feature is specified. • IBM Manufacturing will locate the 520, 550 or 570 near the bottom of the rack for shipping stability reasons (if a #0551/3 rack is ordered with the model 520/550/570). If the customer wants IBM to move the 520/550/570 to a different rack position, this would be a billable service done at the customer site. • Two or more 520 s or 550 s or 570 s can be placed in the same rack. But because most i. Series customers, do not require this, IBM ordering and manufacturing systems have not added the programming logic to do this consolidation. The second (or 3 rd/4 th, etc) server will be shipped separately. The additional 520/550/570 can be placed in the rack at the customer site. If a 570, IBM will do the installation as part of the 570 installation. The 520 and 550 are Customer Set Up (CSU) units and would be a chargeable service for IBM to install them in the rack at the customer site. (Definition note … a 5/8 -way, 9/12 -way or 13/16 -way 570 is considered a single 570 even though it consists of multiple processor enclosures. ) • The left side component of the original #0551 trim kit does not provide enough room for the 570. There was an EC to the trim kit provided in June/July for this until the #6246 was announced and available. The #6246 was designed with this requirement in mind. If putting a 570 into an existing #0551 rack purchased before June/July 2004, buy a #6246 trim kit or a front door. • If putting a 570 in a non. IBM rack, make very, very sure there is adequate room on the left front side for all the interconnections between processor enclosures of the 5/8 -way, 9/12 -way and 13/16 -way. • For safety, heavier units such as a 570 enclosure or 520 CEC should not be located above 31 U position if the rack is being moved. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Miscellaneous - 2 • Additional 800/810 racking details – Two 800/810 can be placed in the same #0551/3 rack. IBM ordering/manufacturing systems supports the placement of only one 800/810 at the IBM plant. The 2 nd 800/810 will be placed in the rack by the customer (#0133) or IBM (#0137) – If the IBM plant places the 800/810 in the rack, it will be placed at the bottom of the rack (reducing tipping risk during shipment). If the customer wants the 800/810 in a higher rack location at the customer location, it can be moved. If IBM does the move, it will be a chargeable service. • EIA – An EIA is an Electronic Industry Association (EIA) unit of measure which is equal to the vertical distance between the center point of each rack mounting hole. – 1 EIA = . 05 meter = 50 mm = 1. 75 inches • 9309 -002 rack – 9309 is an older offering which is withdrawn from marketing – 30 EIA of space provided (1. 5 m) – Standard 19" rack compatible with #0551/3 rack including having the same 28” distance between front and back vertical bars/mounting flanges. The overall external depth of the #0551/3 is larger than the 9309 to provide 1) cable management room behind the back mounting flanges and 2) better airflow. – PDUs can be used in the 9309. The earlier 9309 PCC should not be used in the #0551/3. • 5078/5088 power cord – A separate power cord is not needed by these "top hat" PCI/PCI-X I/O units. The 5078/5088 draws power from the 5074/5094 on which it is attached. • x. Series 9308 features - example shelf – The 2 meter x. Series 9308 rack has additional features which can not be ordered on the #0551 or 7014 -T 00. Thus these features are not listed as “supported” on the #0551 or 7014, but would obviously physically fit in these rack frames. For example, the 9308 rack has a fixed shelf option p/n 94 G 7442 which holds up to 100 pounds. Most racked devices come with their own shelf/rails and there can be thermal, electromagnetic interference or even safety considerations to using devices not specifically designed for a rack. The customer will need to work with the person(s) providing maintenance on the equipment if there are such concerns. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Miscellaneous - 3 • IBM manufacturing practices for i. Series I/O drawers – #0595, #0588 and #5790 will be inserted in a #0551/0553 rack before being shipped out if (repeat if) there is available space on a rack in the same order. This applies to model 800, 810, 825, 870, 890, 520, 550, 570 and 595 orders placed since mid-year 2004. Prior to that only the #0588 was placed in the rack. – For safety reasons during shipping, nothing will be shipped in the rack above the 31 U position to avoid tipping. It will be a customer setup action to put additional I/O drawers in the rack. – IBM manufacturing may not put the I/O drawer in the specific position the customer desires. The customer can move the unit. If IBM Service is requested to move the unit to a different location, it will probably be a billable service. • 1. 8 m rack trim kit / front door (#6246/6068) – A #0551 1. 8 m rack used to include a trim kit. There was no feature code, it was just there unless a front door feature had been ordered. But starting in August 2004 this changed. Now either a #6068 front door or a #6246 trim kit is ordered with the rack. The price of the rack was decreased by the price of the trim kit, so the net price did not change. – If a front door is ordered later as an MES feature, the trim kit will need to be removed before the door and its hinges can be installed. Installing the door in this situation is a customer responsibility. If IBM Service installs the door it can be chargeable. • Physical planning information – http: //publib. boulder. ibm. com/infocenter/iseries/v 5 r 3/ic 2924/index. htm • Extra Filler panels – When an #0551/0553 rack is shipped from IBM, “empty” EIA spaces are covered by blank filler panels. These filler panels are not just for appearance, but help ensure that proper cooling airflow is maintained through the rack’s equipment. The filler panels are either 1 U or 3 U. Don’t throw them away if inserting additional equipment into the rack. Save them in case equipment moves out of the rack. – Using x. Series ordering tools, 25 R 5559 provides five 1 U fillers and 25 R 5560 provides five 3 U fillers. • HSL Cable lengths – For units which are adjacent to each other, a minimum of a 3 meter cable is required in order to go through the cable management arm and also allow the unit(s) to be pulled forward on their rails. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Rack-Related Changes in 2004 • May – Announce new rack mounted 520/570 CECs – Announce i. Series rack features for front door, security locks, stability kit, side attach – New 7310 HMC • July – Announce new 7188 PDU which will be available later in 2004 – Add trim kit feature. Change FC#0551 definition to no longer include a trim kit. – Added rack beacon (for AIX) • August – Announce rack mount 550 CEC • October – – Add chargeable conversion capability of 520 desk side to rack mount Add rail options for 520 or 550 to fit racks deeper than IBM #0551/0553 Add 2 m rack option, FC#0553 Add #5790 Expansion Unit … rack mount only I/O drawer for PCI slots © 2004 IBM Corporation

Rack-Related Changes in 2003 • February: GA new #5094, 5294, 0595 and 0588 – Like #5079, #5294 is essentially two 5094 s shipped by IBM plant in a rack – Like #0578, #0588 is installed by IBM plant if shipped with available rack space on the same order. – #0595 are not installed by IBM plant. – All new I/O towers/units are customer setup (CSU) • May: GA new #0133/0134 rack drawer – CSU #0133 rack drawer/tray holds 270/800/810. IBM plant did not install in rack. – CSU #0134 rack drawer/tray holds 825. IBM plant does not install in rack. • August – 270/800/810 shipped in rack by IBM plant (if #0133 and rack space in same order) – Model 825 declared IBM set up vs. customer setup. • September – "new" #0137 is an IBM-installed-at-customer-site version of #0133 drawer/tray. – "old" #0133 is still available (for CSU servers) – "new" #0138 is an IBM-installed-at-customer-site version of #0134 drawer/tray. . IBM plant does not install in rack. • November – "old" #0134 is withdrawn from marketing since 825 is now IBM installed server. Note: If an upgrade from an earlier model to a Model 810 is shipped from IBM, it is common practice for the IBM service people to attach the CSU I/O which was part of that order. This includes the #0133 rack drawer. © 2004 IBM Corporation

Customer Install vs. IBM Install • Machines designated as Customer Set Up (CSU) – Customer handles all aspects of machine installation and planning – IBM provides installation instructions – Customer has the flexibility to add, move or replace when needed and as convenient • Machines designated as IBM install – IBM installs the machine at a location specified by the customer. The customer provides IBM with sufficient, free, and safe access such that IBM can do this. – All or a subset of the following activities are included in IBM machine installation as required: • System Assurance and Installation Planning - done by seller (IBM or IBM Business Partner) • Physical installation of IBM Machine from unpacking to powering up and running diagnostics • Post installation cleanup • Packing of hardware returning to IBM manufacturing associated with the installation – Activities not covered in IBM install include: (Available via a separate contract with IBM) • Rearrangement of your facilities to accommodate installation of the IBM Machine • Rerouting and/or attaching external cables to the IBM Machine • Installing and testing applications • Training of your operational or technical personnel • Removing and packing of old hardware not returned to IBM as part of installation • Relocation of IBM Machine • All install activities associated with non-IBM equipment – Activities not covered in IBM install include: • Providing appropriate power receptacles and cooling for the machines • Receiving the equipment • Inspecting the boxes received from shipper • Moving the equipment from the receiving area to the area where it will be installed © 2004 IBM Corporation
