preferred rack or cabinet results in a configuration that is stable, serviceable, safe, and
compatible with the drawer requirements for power, cooling, cable management, weight,
and rail security.
1.13.1 IBM 7014 Model S25 rack
The 1.3-meter (49-inch) Model S25 rack has the following features:
► Twenty-five EIA units
► Weights:
– Base empty rack: 100.2 kg (221 lb.)
– Maximum load limit: 567.5 kg (1250 lb.)
The S25 racks do not have vertical mounting space that will accommodate #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.

The 1.8 Meter (71-in.) Model T00 is compatible with past and present IBM Power systems.
The T00 rack has these features:

► These optional features are available:
– Optional removable side panels
– Optional highly perforated front door
– Optional side-to-side mounting hardware for joining multiple racks
► You have a choice of standard business black or optional white color in OEM format.
► Increased power distribution and weight capacity is provided.

the top of the rack.
► Up to four power distribution units (PDUs) can be mounted in the PDU bays (Figure 1-4 on
page 27), but others can fit inside the rack. See 1.13.7, “The AC power distribution unit
and rack content” on page 26.
