Rack requirements
Make sure the rack in which you are going to install the BladeCenter S chassis
meets these minimum requirements.
v
Make sure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
v
Do not block any air vents; usually, 15 cm (6 in.) of air space in the rear and 5
cm (2 in.) in the front provides proper airflow.
v
Three or more people are required to install the device in a rack.
v
Do not leave any unused U space within a rack open. Blank filler panels must
be used to prevent recirculation of warm air.
v Install your BladeCenter S chassis only in a rack cabinet with perforated front
and rear doors or in a rack equipped with the IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger.
v
Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
v
Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
v
The rack-mounting flanges have holes and clearances per EIA-310-D.
v
There is sufficient room in front of the front EIA flange to provide minimum
bezel clearance of 70 mm (2.76 inches) deep.
v
There is sufficient room behind the rear of the rear EIA flanges to provide for
adequate cable management and routing.
v
Rack weight-handling capacity must be sufficient for the aggregate weight of the
BladeCenter S chassis, blade servers, power distribution units, and power cables.
v The rack needs to be stabilized with stabilization brackets and leveling pads so
that it does not become unstable when fully loaded.
Important: When moving a 42U rack, remove all equipment installed above 22U
before moving the rack to another location.
