7042-CR9 Hardware Management Console specifications

Hardware specifications for model 7042-CR9 provide detailed information for your Hardware Management Console (HMC), including dimensions, electrical, power, temperature, environmental specifications, and noise emissions.

The HMC controls managed systems, including the management of logical partitions and the use of capacity on demand. Using service applications, the HMC communicates with managed systems to detect, consolidate, and send information to IBM® for analysis. The HMC provides service technicians with diagnostic information for systems that can operate in a multiple-partitioned environment.

Use the following specifications to plan for your HMC.
