N series storage systems and storage expansion units should be rack-mounted.
N series storage systems
and storage expansion units include a mounting rail kit. The recommended
racks are:
- IBM® 7014 Model T00, which is a 36U high rack
- IBM 7014 Model T42, which is a 42U high rack
- IBM 2101 Model N00 rack, which is a 36U high rack
- IBM 2101 Model N42 rack, which is a 42U high rack
Other racks may be used, provided they allow the clearances specified
in Specifications for IBM and non-IBM racks. N series storage systems and storage expansion units
do not mount in all IBM racks. It is important to check
clearances when using any rack other than the IBM 7014
or IBM 2101.
