Site and hardware planning
This topic collection provides specifications that site planners can use to assess the physical site and
operational requirements necessary to prepare your site for a new server. This information includes
specifications for servers and expansion units, plugs and receptacles, and cables as well as information
about power-distribution units and uninterruptible power supplies.
Hardware specification sheets
Hardware specification sheets provide detailed information for your hardware, including dimensions,
electrical, power, temperature, environment, and service clearances.
Server specifications
Server specifications provide detailed information for your server, including dimensions, electrical, power,
temperature, environment, and service clearances.
Select the appropriate models to view the specifications for your server.
Model 8408-44E and 8408-E8E server specifications
Server specifications provide detailed information for your server, including dimensions, electrical, power,
temperature, environment, and service clearances.
Use the following specifications to plan for your server.
Note:
Due to special safety and servicing considerations, IBM does not support installation of 8408-44E
or 8408-E8E server nodes higher than the EIA 29 position (location of the rail that supports the
rack-mounted server) in any IBM or non-IBM rack. These special considerations include, but are not
limited to, requirements for multiple service personnel during installation, additional required equipment
such as an IBM approved lift tool and OSHA approved, non-conductive ladders, as well as specialized
instructions.
