Notes:
  1. The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. If dual power supplies are installed and operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (mains) and provide approximately equal current to the load.
  2. Maximum power consumption is specified for each 9117-MMB 16-core drawer. The 32-core, 48-core, and 64-core configurations are based on the use of multiple 16-core drawers (for example, a 32-core configuration consists of two 16-core drawers, and other configurations).
  3. Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration. When you plan for an electrical system, it is important to use maximum values. However, when you are planning for heat load, you can use the IBM® Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. For more information, see The IBM Systems Energy Estimator website.
  4. Measured according to IEC 60950.
  5. To calculate the amperage, multiply the kVA by 1000 and divide that number by the operating voltage.

Special Hardware Management Console considerations

The Hardware Management Console (HMC) must be provided within the same room and within 8 m (26 ft) of the server. For additional considerations, see Planning for HMC installation and configuration.

Note: As an alternative to the local HMC requirement, it is acceptable for you to provide a supported device, such as a computer, with connectivity and authority to operate through a remotely attached HMC. This local device must be in the same room and within 8 m (26 ft.) of your server, and provide functional capability equivalent to the HMC that it replaces and that is needed by the service representative to service the system.

Delivery and subsequent transportation of the equipment

DANGER
Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. (D006)

You must prepare your environment, with assistance from an authorized service provider, to accept the new product based on the installation planning information provided. In anticipation of the equipment delivery, prepare the final installation site in advance so that professional movers or riggers can transport the equipment to the final installation site within the computer room. If, for some reason, this is not possible at the time of delivery, you must make arrangements to have professional movers or riggers return to finish the transportation at a later date. Only professional movers or riggers should transport the equipment. The authorized service provider can only perform minimal frame repositioning within the computer room, as needed, to perform required service actions. You are also responsible for using professional movers or riggers when you relocate or dispose of equipment.
