Width: 605 mm (23.8 in.) with side panels
Depth: 1001 mm (39.4 in.) with front door
Height: 1344 mm (49.0 in.)
Weight: 100.2 kg (221.0 lb.)
The S25 rack has a maximum load limit of 22.7 kg (50 lb.) per EIA unit for a ma xim um loaded
rack weight of 667 kg (1470 lb.).
1.5.5 S11 rack and S25 rack considerations
The S11 and S25 racks do not have vertical mounting space that will accommodate FC 7188
PDUs. All PDUs required for application in these racks must be installed horizontally in the
rear of the rack. Each horizontally mounted PDU occupies 1U of space in the rack, and
therefore reduces the space available for mounting servers and other components.
FC 0469 Customer Specified Rack Placement provides the ability to specify the physical
location of the system modules and attached expansion modules (drawers) in the racks. The
client’s request is reviewed by eConfig for safe handling by checking the weight distribution
within the rack. The Manufacturing Plant provides the final approval for the configuration . This
information is then used by IBM Manufacturing to assemble the system components
(drawers) in the rack according to the client’s request.
The CFReport from eConfig must be submitted to the following site:
