Rack installation worksheet

Use this worksheet to plan for the rack location of each BladeCenter S system and compute the total weight for the BladeCenter S systems and other hardware.

Each BladeCenter S chassis is seven rack units (7 U). You can install up to six BladeCenter S chassis in a 42U rack.

Fill out one worksheet for each rack.

Record the weight totals for each BladeCenter S system in this rack from the BladeCenter S Types 7779 and 8886 installation worksheet.
Record the weight totals for other units in this rack from the BladeCenter S Types 7779 and 8886 installation worksheet.
Record Subtotal 1 for the weight.
Compute the weight of the rack-mounting kits and record it on the worksheet.
Compute the weight of the power distribution units and cables and record them on the worksheet.
Record Subtotal 2 on the worksheet.
Add Subtotal 1 and 2 to obtain the total rack load and record it on the worksheet.
Select a rack and circle the matching rack weight on the worksheet. Verify that the weight load entered in the previous step does not exceed the weight limit for the rack.
Add the rack weight to the total rack load and record it on the worksheet. Verify that this weight does not exceed the floor load limits of the location where the rack is being installed.
