Chapter 3. IBM System x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 115Because a short delay in qualification for several of these operating systems might exist,check the ServerProven Operating System support page for a current statement at thefollowing website:http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/nos/matrix.shtmlTable 3-36 summarizes the hardware maximums of the possible x3850 X5 configurations.Table 3-36 Thread and memory maximums3.17 Rack considerationsThe x3850 X5 has the following physical specifications: Width: 440 mm (17.3 inches) Depth: 712 mm (28.0 inches) Height: 173 mm (6.8 inches) or 4 rack units (4U) Minimum configuration: 35.4 kg (78 lb) Maximum configuration: 49.9 kg (110 lb)The x3850 X5 4U, rack-drawer models can be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet that isdesigned for 26-inch deep devices, such as the NetBAY42 ER, NetBAY42 SR, NetBAY25 SR,or NetBAY11.The 5U combination of MAX5 and x3850 X5 is mechanically joined and functions as a singleunit. Adding the MAX5 to the x3850 X5 requires a change of the Electronic Industries Alliance(EIA) flange kit. The EIA flange kit, which ships standard with the 4U x3850 X5, must beremoved and replaced with the 5U flange kit that ships standard with the MAX5.If using a non-IBM rack, the cabinet must meet the EIA-310-D standards with a depth of atleast 71.1 cm (28 in). Adequate space must be maintained from the slide assembly to thefront door of the rack cabinet to allow sufficient space for the door to close and provideadequate air flow: 5 cm (2 inches) for the front bezel (approximate) 2.5 cm (1 inch) for air flow (approximate)x3850 X5 x3850 X5 withMAX5Two-nodex3850 X5Two-nodex3850 X5 withMAX5CPU threads 64 64 128 128Memory capacityaa.
