Rack installation worksheet
Use this worksheet to plan for the rack location of each BladeCenter S system and
compute the total weight for the BladeCenter S systems and other hardware.
Each BladeCenter S chassis is seven rack units (7 U). You can install up to six
BladeCenter S chassis in a 42U rack.
Fill out one worksheet for each rack.
1. Record the weight totals for each BladeCenter S system in this rack from the
“BladeCenter S Types 7779 and 8886 installation worksheet” on page 85.
2. Record the weight totals for other units in this rack from the “BladeCenter S
Types 7779 and 8886 installation worksheet” on page 85.
3.
Record Subtotal 1 for the weight.
4. Compute the weight of the rack-mounting kits and record it on the worksheet.
5. Compute the weight of the power distribution units and cables and record
them on the worksheet.
6. Record Subtotal 2 on the worksheet.
7. Add Subtotal 1 and 2 to obtain the total rack load and record it on the
worksheet.
8. Select a rack and circle the matching rack weight on the worksheet. Verify that
the weight load entered in the previous step does not exceed the weight limit
for the rack
.
9. Add the rack weight to the total rack load and record it on the worksheet.
Verify that this weight does not exceed the floor load limits of the location
where the rack is being installed.
