Note:
  1. Because the 5296 1.8 m I/O rack consists of two 5096 expansion units, electrical requirements for each 5096 need to be planned for individually. Hence, the (1) and (2) represent the specifications for each 5096. The 5096 requires the appropriate receptacle for the power cord included with each 5096
  2. The usable length of the power cord for the top/upper 5096 is reduced by 4 ft. (1.2 m) because of the routing inside the 1.8 m enclosure. Therefore, a 14 ft. (4.3 m) cord results in a usable length of 10 ft. (3 m), and a 9 ft. (2.7 m) cord results in a usable length of 5 ft. (1.5 m).
  3. Each 5096 can have 45 disk drives installed. Each disk drive that is installed adds 15 W, 0.0158 kVa to the power. The range of power represents configurations from no disk drives to 45 disk drives.

For information about floor loading, contact your IBM® service or Installation Planning representative. Because the thickness of the covers are negligible, the height, width, and depth of the overall dimensions may be used in floor loading calculations.
