numbering specification as outlined by the radio frequency identification
specifications. For information about the specification, see the Financial Services
Technology Consortium website (www.bits.org/?id=29).
Important: This option is applicable only in environments that can use the correct
RFID reading technology. Before you order this option, review the RFID
capabilities with your IBM service representative.
When this option is ordered, IBM attaches one RFID tag per rack. Order one RFID
option for each XIV system that you want to track. This option does not tag
individual components.
Important: If the tag must be replaced for an XIV system, ensure that you update
the asset-management database with the new RFID number for that XIV system.
Ruggedized rack feature
The ruggedized rack (feature code 0080) is an optional kit for stabilizing the IBM
XIV Storage System rack so that the rack complies with IBM earthquake-resistance
standards. The ruggedized rack secures the rack directly to the concrete floor and
stiffens the rack from flexing. The kit can be installed on a raised floor or
non-raised floor.
It is important for XIV systems to be adequately restrained during earthquakes to
prevent human injury and limit potential damage to critical system components,
such as hard disk drives. The optional ruggedized rack includes hardware that
secures the rack to the floor and x-braces on the front and rear of the rack, which
prevents the rack from twisting. The earthquake-resistance option brings the XIV
system into compliance with earthquake-resistance objectives that are documented
in Earthquake Resistance for IBM Hardware Products (IBM Corporate Bulletin C-B
1-9711-009 9202).
Installation of the required floor hardware and the earthquake resistance kit is
disruptive. Before you install the earthquake resistance kit, the XIV system must be
turned off and temporarily moved while the floor is prepared and the kit is
installed.
Notes:
v
When you order the optional ruggedized rack, order one for each XIV system
rack.
v To remove a previously installed ruggedized rack, contact your IBM service
representative to remove the kit.
The rack tie downs are intended for securing a frame weighing 1,134 kg (2500 lbs)
per rack. These tie downs are designed to secure the rack on either a non-raised
floor or a raised floor installation. Instructions, drawings, and data are provided on

with no warranty of any kind, express or implied. Rather, IBM has provided the
information to help procure the parts that are needed and either install the design
or request IBM to install the design as a service.
