The 2.0 m (79.3 inches) Model T42 is the rack that will address the special requirements of customers who want a tall enclosure to house the maximum amount of equipment in the smallest possible floor space. The features that differ in the Model T42 rack from the Model

T00 include the following:

￿42 EIA units (42 U) of usable space.

￿Model T42 supports AC only.

￿Weight:

T42 Base Empty Rack: 261 kg (575 pounds)

T42 Full Rack: 930 kg (2045 pounds)

1.3.3Rack mounting rules for Model 6C1

There are some rules that should be considered when mounting drawers into a rack. These are as follows:

￿The Model 6C1 is designed to be placed at any location in the rack.

￿Any remaining space in the rack can be used for storage, such as 7133-D40 or 2104-DU3, if desired.

￿According to the IBM ^pSeries 610 Models 6C1 and 6E1 Installation Guide, SA38-0597, you have to remove the blue wheel-shaped knobs from the server after you have installed the Model 6C1 in a rack. Store the knobs in a safe place to use them in case
