Figure 1-2 pSeries 610 Model 6E1 - package layout
After March 15, 2002, an Acoustic Package (# 6166) is available for new Model 6E1 orders
that includes a rear muffler, re-engineered rear fan, hot-swap DASD disk array baffle (for use
on systems with empty hot-swap disk bays), and instructions. It is recommended for servers
that are located in quiet work areas and office environments. It extends the depth of the unit
to 813 mm or 32 inches.
The parts install without tools and may be done on an operating system. Because of the
redundant cooling design of this system, the rear cooling fan swap is possible on an operating
system. It is suggested that before performing any maintenance to the system that the
customer complete a system backup. It may be required to shut down the system or
applications prior to performing the task. Consider the risk of accidental data loss before
modifying any production environment.
In Figure 1-3, the rear muffler is shown on its side, with the top of the unit to the left.
