POWER7 information

Cooling requirements (POWER6 upgrade)

Use the system cooling requirements table in conjunction with the cooling requirements graph and chilled airflow area figure to determine the area of floor tiles to supply chilled air to the system.

The model 9119-FHB requires air for cooling. As shown in Considerations for multiple-system installations, rows of model 9119-FHB systems must face front to front. The use of a raised floor is recommended to provide air through perforated floor panels placed in rows between the fronts of systems. This is shown as cold aisles in Considerations for multiple-system installations.

The following table provide system cooling requirements based on the system configuration. The letter designations in the table correspond to the letter designations in the graph shown in the Cooling requirements graph.
