Re: I5 520 poor rack mount option

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We have an i5 520 and an i5 570.  All the expansion towers are rack 
mountable, and ours are.

I5 520 poor rack mount option






Hello all,

When the I5 was announce, I was verry happy to see that IBM finally
offered a rack mount option for it. This way, I tough, it will fit
better in my data center with all the other rackmounted equipment.

But, it aint so. If I have a lot of disk, we must use an extention
tower!!! We then find ourselve with an Iseries in part in a rack and in
part in a tower. That defeats the hole purpuse of rack mounting.

To me, it seems that IBM did a lousy job regarding this.

Does anybody know if this situation will last long?


Thanks, I needed to let go of a little steam.
