Hardware Management Console 7310 Model CR2
The 7310 Model CR2 is a 1U, 19-inch rack-mountable drawer supported in the 7014 Model T00 and T42 racks. The 7310 Model CR2 provides one serial port, two integrated Ethernet ports, and two additional PCI slots. The HMC 7310 Model CR2 has USB ports to connect USB keyboard and mouse devices.
Note: The HMC serial port can be used for external modem attachment if the Service Agent call-home function is implemented, and the Ethernet ports are used to communicate to the service processor in p5-570 systems. An Ethernet cable (FC 7801 or 7802) is required to attach the HMC to the p5-570 system it controls.
IBM 7212 Model 102 TotalStorage Storage device enclosure
The IBM 7212 Model 102 is designed to provide efficient and convenient storage expansion capabilities for selected IBM Sserver p5, pSeries, and RS/6000 servers. The IBM 7212
Model 102 is a 1U rack-mountable option that can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using an optional rack-mount hardware feature kit. The 7212 Model 102 has two bays that can accommodate any of the following storage drive features:
DDS Gen 5 DAT72 Tape Drive provides physical storage capacity of 36 GB (72 GB with 2:1 compression) per data cartridge.
VXA-2 Tape Drive provides a media capacity of up to 80 GB (160 GB with 2:1 compression) physical data storage capacity per cartridge.
Digital Data Storage (DDS-4) tape drive with 20 GB native data capacity per tape cartridge and a native physical data transfer rate of up to 3 MBps, uses 2:1 compression so that a single tape cartridge can store up to 40 GB of data.
DVD-ROM drive is a 5.25-inch, half-high device. It can read 640 MB CD-ROM and 4.7 GB DVD-RAM media. It can be used for Alternate IPL4 (IBM-distributed CD-ROM media only) and program distribution.
DVD-RAM drive with up to 2.7 MBps throughput. Using 3:1 compression, a single disk can store up to 28 GB of data. Supported DVD disk native capacities on a single DVD-RAM disk are as follows: up to 2.6 GB, 4.7 GB, 5.2 GB, and 9.4 GB.
1.6.6OEM rack
The p5-570 can be installed in a suitable OEM rack, as long as the rack conforms to the EIA-310-D standard and careful consideration is given to the additional 2.75 inches required on the left front side for interconnect cables when multiple drawers installed and connected. This standard is published by the Electrical Industries Alliance, and a summary of this standard is available in the publication Site and Hardware Planning Information, SA38-0508.
The key points that are mentioned in this standard are:
Any rack that is used must be capable of supporting 15.9 kg (35 lb) per EIA unit (44.5 mm [1.75 in]) of rack height.
To ensure proper rail alignment, the rack must have mounting flanges that are at least 494 mm (19.45 in) across the width of the rack and 719 mm (28.3 in) between the front and rear rack flanges.
It may be necessary to supply additional hardware, such as fasteners, for use in some manufacturer’s racks.
