Chapter 3. Placing the cabinets
Contents
Customer responsibilities
Once the contents of all the cabinets of the Cluster 1350 are verified, the customer
should move the cabinets and any boxes containing extra equipment and other
materials to the location they have prepared for the installation.
Physical, environmental, and electrical requirements were outlined in the IBM
eServer Cluster 1350 Preinstallation Planning
manual. Do not move the cabinets
to their final location if proper preparations are still being made to the space.
The Cluster 1350 was manufactured according to information provided at the time
the order was placed. The side-to-side and front-to-back clearances for each cabinet
are directly related to the load carrying capability of the floor in the location of the
installation. Cabinet to cabinet cabling harnesses were custom made for each order
to allow for proper spacing of the cabinets. If the location of the installation has
changed since the time the order was placed the customer should review the
physical, environmental, and electrical requirements outlined in the preinstallation
manual to ensure there are no incompatibilities.
Using the packing slip enclosed with the Cluster 1350, the customer should place
the cabinets in their approximate final location. Each cabinet is labeled to help in
this process.
The IBM Service team will take care of final cabinet placement and perform the
rest of the cabling and installation steps.
Installer responsibilities
IBM Global Services or an IBM Authorized Business Partner will perform the
remaining activities in the installation process.
Cabinet placement
Use the following guidelines when placing cabinets:
v
Cabinets can be placed side-by-side in contact with one another. Remember that
to service any Power Distribution Unit (PDU) in the cabinet you will have to
remove the side covers. At least 30 inches of
working clearance is required to
allow removal of a side cover and permit access to the PDU. If the cabinets are
placed side-by-side in contact with one another you should have enough extra
space around the cluster to allow for movement of the cabinets in the event a
PDU needs service.
Cabinet placement must not exceed floor loading limits.
v
Cabinet placement must allow for access to both the front and back panels. At
least 36 inches of
working clearance is needed to remove or insert a module into
the rack.
v
Cables and cable harnesses were custom made to fit the order. If the location of
the installation has changed since the time the order was placed, review the
physical, environmental, and electrical requirements outlined in the
preinstallation manual to ensure there are no incompatibilities.
