Cabinet. The NetBAY11 rack supports shipment of fully configured xSeries 455 and other rack-optimized xSeries servers. Installation considerations include the following: The system is not designed to run vertically, and therefore must always be run in a horizontal position. For thermal considerations, the x455 must be installed with perforated doors on both front and back. Do not install the x455 in a rack with a glass front door. Although installation is supported in non-enterprise racks, it is not recommended, since cable management then becomes an issue. The maximum weight of the system, depending on your configuration, is 50 kg (110 lb). Therefore, this system requires two people to install it in a rack. If you use a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of at least 28 inches. Also, adequate space (approximately two inches for the front bezel and one inch for air flow) must be maintained from the slide assembly to the front door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the door to close and provide adequate air flow. Make sure all the cables attached to the x455 are long enough to permit the server to be slid out of the rack. This would include the normal cables such as power, network, and fiber cables, but also includes the Remote I/O cable for connecting to the RXE-100. See "Remote Expansion Enclosure connectivity" on page 70 for RXE-100 cabling information. Since the x455 is rack optimized, the IBM xSeries rack configurator should be used to ensure correct placement. The configurator can be downloaded from: For EMEA: http://www.pc.ibm.com/europe/configurators/ For USA: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/eserver/xseries/library/configtools.html For other countries or regions: a.
