1.12 System racks
The Power 770 and its I/O drawers are designed to be mounted in the 7014-T00,
7014-T42, 7014-B42, 7014-S25, #0551, #0553, or #0555 rack. The Power 780 and I/O
drawers can be ordered only with the 7014-T00 and 7014-T42 racks. These are built to the
19-inch EIA standard. An existing 7014-T00, 7014-B42, 7014-S25, 7014-T42, #0551, #0553,
or #0555 rack can be used for the Power 770 and Power 780 if sufficient space and power
are available.
The 36U (1.8-meter) rack (#0551) and the 42U (2.0-meter) rack (#0553) are available for
order on MES upgrade orders only. For initial system orders, the racks must be ordered as
machine type 7014, models T00, B42, S25, or T42.
If a system is to be installed in a rack or cabinet that is not IBM, it must meet requirements.
