Re: HMC Question

Larry,

So the 7316-TF3 doesn't even come with the keyboard and mouse?

No, all we got was the rack and the HMC.  We thought we were getting the 
tray console too, but I guess it was overlooked in the configs.  We 
specifically asked several times about it.  We also want to rack mount 3 
xSeries servers in the same rack and ideally use the same KVM tray for all 
of it.  Do you know if this should work with these part numbers?

We are also trying to figure out if we can power the xSeries on the same 
UPS/PDU or whether we need to order something special.  All of these 
things can be done after the fact, but it is pain figuring out what you 
need to get.  You talk to IBM and it like they had never though someone 
might want to put an xSeries and iSeries in the same rack.  They are very 
helpful, it is just surprising that this all seems like new territory to 
them.  I guess the rack mounted iSeries sort of are...
