2When installing a model 9117-MMB or 9179-MHB in a 7014-T42 rack, there are restrictions to what height the rack installation can begin so that SMP and FSP flex assemblies are accommodated. The installation configurations are as follows:
  • 16-core configurations (16U) start installation between EIA 1 through EIA 21
  • 12-core configurations (12U) start installation between EIA 1 though EIA 25
  • 8-core configurations (8U) start installation between EIA 1 through EIA 29
  • 4-core configurations (4U) start installation between EIA 1 through EIA 37, EIA 37 through 39 (does not use SMP or SMP flex assemblies)
Associated I/O platforms can be mounted in the upper locations of the rack.

3Acoustic doors are available for the IBM® racks. Feature code 6248 is available for the 0551 and 7014-T00 racks. Feature code 6249 is available for the 0553 and 7014-T42 racks. The overall sound reduction is approximately 6 dB. The doors add 381 mm (15 in.) to the depth of the racks.

See your server or hardware specifications for specific requirements.

Rack noise levels are a function of the number and type of drawers installed. See your server or hardware specifications for specific requirements.
Note: Acoustic doors are available for the IBM racks. Feature code 6248 is available for the 0551 and 7014-T00 racks. Feature code 6249 is available for the 0553 and 7014-T42 racks. The overall sound reduction is approximately 6 dB. The doors add 381 mm (15 in.) to the depth of the racks.
Rack airflow requirements are a function of the number and type of drawers installed.
Note: All rack installations require careful site and facilities planning designed to address both the cumulative drawer heat output and provide the airflow volume rates necessary to comply with drawer temperature requirements.
Refer to the individual drawer specifications.
