Application Cabinet
The application cabinet used for the T1200 or T5100 application platform is 23 inches wide, 44U (77.0
inches or 1,955.8 mm) high with top and side panels as well as front and rear doors. The rails are set
for standard 19-inch(482.6 mm) rack mount equipment and is earthquake zone 4 compliant. The cabinet
provides adequate air flow, as well as front and rear access for cabling and FRU replacement. The
application cabinet can be configured for AC or DC applications. This manual describes DC
configurations.
The application cabinet supports hardware co-mingling, which allows multiple applications that are
hosted on separate server clusters to reside in a common cabinet. Each application is hosted on its
own set of servers, just as if each application would be placed in separate cabinets. However, there is
no management element spanning the applications at this time.
About Zones
The application cabinet space is divided into zones to better support hardware co-mingling:
• The Power Zone (7U) supports power distribution panels (PDPs)
• The Network Zone (10U) supports Ethernet switches and front-to-rear cable plenum when T5100
application shelves are included.
• Application Zone 1 (6U) supports an application hosted on up to 6 T1200 application servers.
• Application Zone 2 (6U) supports an independent application hosted on up to 6 T1200 application
servers, or expansion of a Zone 1 application to a total of 12 T1200 application servers.
• Application Zone 3 (13U) supports an independent application hosted on a T5100 application
server, up to 6 T1200 application servers, an expansion of a Zone 2 application to a total of 12 T1200
application servers, or an expansion of a Zone 1 application to a total of 18 T1200 application servers.
Note: Applications can span multiple physical zones. An application starting in physical zone 1 may
also occupy physical zone 2 and, possibly zone 3, depending on the number of servers the application
requires.
The three application zones allow for product simplification to the greatest extent possible. No
equipment has to be moved to support a field extension of a second application into the application
cabinet. Each application is independent of both the interaction of servers and the networking design.
Figure 1: Zones and their Components
shows the components that can be loaded in each zone depending
on a single T1200 or T5100 configuration, or for a co-mingled cabinet. Exact configurations are based
on Customer sales orders and are identified in the Dimensioning Drawings, which are provided with
each shipment.
