Power and pac kaging
#0141 #0141 HSL OptiConnect Specify
The #0141 is used to specify that this system is to be part of a cluster using HSL OptiConnect. This feature is used to allow
the ordering of additional HSL cables to connect the systems that have OptiConnect.
Prerequisite: HSL OptiConnect capable system (#2754/#9752 on the SB2 and #2755/#9755 on the SB3)
Maximum: One
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V5R1
Supported on specific Models SB2 and SB3. See prerequisites.
#0382 #0382 Remote Control Panel Cable
To connect the remote control panel cable to iSeries servers SB2 and SB3, an available parallel port (LPT) is needed on
the PC instead of a COM port. The parallel port must be configured to use Enhanced Parallel Port 1.9 (EPP) support, which
might require a change in the PCs Basic Input/Output Services (BIOS). Check with your PC manufacturer for any
assistance. Some PCs might not support this function due to BIOS or hardware incompatibilities.
The #0382 is a Customer Install Feature (CIF).
Supported on Models SB2 and SB3.
#0551 #0551 iSeries Rack
The #0551 iSeries Rack provides an empty 1.8 m rack which contains 36 EIA units of space. For complete placement
information, refer to “#0551 iSeries Rack” on page228.
Optional features for the #0551 rack are:
#6068 Optional Front Door (black/flat)
#6580 Optional Rack Security Kit
#7840 Side-by-Side for 1.8 m Racks
#7841 Ruggedize Rack Kit
The IBM marketing configurator does not manage rack space in the #0551 iSeries Rack. Use the following list to determine
the number of EIA units required in the #0551 for each iSeries system unit or expansion tower:
#0595 PCI-X Expansion Unit in Rack - 5 EIA units
#0578 PCI Expansion Unit in Rack - 8 EIA units
#0588 PCI-X Expansion Unit in Rack - 8 EIA units
#5074 PCI Expansion Tower - 18 EIA units
#9079 Base I/O Tower - 18 EIA units
One to four Power Distribution Units (PDUs) can be ordered with the #0551. The PDUs can be on initial orders, model
upgrades, or on Miscellaneous Equipment Specification (MES) orders. Each PDU has six power sockets that can be used
to provide power for devices rack mounted in the #0551 iSeries Rack using the #1422 PDU Line Cord.
