Chassis support
The p24L, p260 and p460 are supported in the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. Up to fourteen p24L
or p260 compute nodes or up to seven x440 compute nodes (or a combination of all three) can be
installed in the chassis in 10U of rack space. The actual number of compute nodes that can be installed in
a chassis depends on these factors:
The number of power supplies installed
The capacity of the power supplies installed (2100 W or 2500 W)
The power redundancy policy used (N+1 or N+N)
