Server specifications provide detailed information for your server, including dimensions,
electrical, power, temperature, environment, and service clearances.
Use the following specifications to plan for your server.
Note: Due to special safety and servicing considerations, IBM®
does not support installation of 9080-HEX server nodes
higher than the EIA 29 position (location of the rail that supports the rack-mounted server) in any
IBM or non-IBM rack.
These special considerations include, but are not limited to, requirements for multiple service
personnel during installation, additional required equipment such as an IBM approved lift tool and OSHA approved, non-conductive ladders, as well as
specialized instructions.

Notes:
- Redundancy is supported. There are a total of four power supply units per system node drawer.
Each power supply unit has an IEC 320-C14 inlet. A minimum of two power supply units are required
for operation. There is no specific power supply unit plugging sequence for the PDUs. Any two power
supply units can be plugged into the A-side electrical distribution. The remaining two power supply
units can be plugged into the B-side electrical distribution.
- The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. If
multiple power supplies are installed and operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal
current from the utility (electricity supply) and provide approximately equal current to the
load.
- Power draw and heat load vary greatly
by configuration. When you plan for an electrical system, it is important to use the maximum values.
However, when you plan for heat load, you can use the IBM
Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. See
The IBM Systems Energy Estimator
website to determine whether the machine type and model is supported.
- To calculate the amperage, multiply the kVA by 1000 and divide that number by the operating
voltage. The system control unit (SCU) power consumption is included in the W, kVA, and BTU/hr
values. Since the SCU derives its power from the primary system node and has a very low power
consumption when compared to the overall load, it is not separated out.
- Horizontally mounted power distribution units (PDUs) must be used. Vertically mounted PDUs
occupy and limit access to the cable routing space on the side of the rack and cannot be used.
- The current will not exceed 10 A per power supply cord where the nominal voltage is 220 V ac
with a voltage tolerance of +10.0%; -18.2%. For 200 - 208 V ac regions, the current will not exceed
12 A per power supply cord that is allowed by authorities in those jurisdictions.

Notes:
- IBM provides the recommended operating environment as the
long-term operating environment that can result in the greatest reliability, energy efficiency, and
reliability. The allowable operating environment represents where the equipment is tested to verify
functionality. Due to the stresses that operating in the allowable envelope can place on the
equipment, these envelopes must be used for short-term operation, not continuous operation.
- Must derate the maximum allowable temperature 1°C (1.8°F) per 175 m (574 ft) above 900 m (2953
ft) up to a maximum allowable elevation of 3050 m (10000 ft).
- The minimum humidity level is the larger absolute humidity of the -12°C (10.4°F) dew point and
the 8% relative humidity. These levels intersect at approximately 25°C (77°F). Below this
intersection, the dew point (-12°C) represents the minimum moisture level, while above it, the
relative humidity (8%) is the minimum. For the upper moisture limit, the limit is the minimum
absolute humidity of the dew point and relative humidity that is stated.
- The following minimum requirements apply to data centers that are operated at low relative humidity:
- Data centers that do not have ESD floors and where people are allowed to wear non-ESD shoes
might want to consider increasing humidity given that the risk of generating 8 kV increases slightly
at 8% relative humidity, when compared to 25% relative humidity.
- All mobile furnishings and equipment must be made of conductive or static dissipative materials
and be bonded to ground.
- During maintenance on any hardware, a properly functioning and grounded wrist strap must be used
by any personnel who comes in contact with information technology (IT) equipment.
- Equipment that is removed from the original shipping container and is installed, but is powered
down. The allowable non-operating environment is provided to define the environmental range that an
unpowered system can experience short term without being damaged.

Notes:
- Declared level LWA,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level.
- Declared level LpA,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level computed as the
arithmetic average of the measurements made at the 1-meter bystander positions, or it is measured as
the maximum 0.5-meter operator position at the front or rear face with the doors opened.
- The statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared
mean A-weighted sound power level, LWA,m, such that there is a 95% probability of
acceptance, when using the verification procedures of ISO 9296, if no more than 6.5% of the batch of
new equipment has A-weighted sound power levels greater than (LWA,m +
Kv).
- The quantity LWA,c (formerly called LWAd), can be computed from the sum of
LWA,m and Kv.
- Measurements are made in conformance with ISO 7779 and declared in conformance with ISO 9296
except for the inclusion of some modeled results that are derived from ISO 7779 measurements and
system performance assessments.
- B and dB stand for bels and decibels. 1 B equals 10 dB.
- Under certain environments, configurations, system settings, or workloads, there is an increase
in fan speeds that results in higher noise levels.
- Notice: Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European Community
Directives) might govern noise level exposure in the workplace and might apply to you and your
server installation. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon various
factors, including the number of racks in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration
of the room where you designate the racks to be installed; the noise levels from other equipment;
the room ambient temperature, and employees' location in relation to the equipment. Further,
compliance with such government regulations also depends upon various extra factors, including the
duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. IBM recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to
determine whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Special Hardware Management Console considerations
When the server is managed by an HMC, the console must be provided within the same room and
within 8 m (26 ft) of the server.
Note: As an alternative to the local HMC requirement, you can provide a supported device, such as a
PC, with connectivity and authority to operate through a remotely attached HMC. This local device
must be in the same room and within 8 m (26 ft) of your server. This local device must provide
functional capabilities that are equivalent to the HMC that it replaces. This local device is needed
by the service representative to service the system.
