RE: I5 520 poor rack mount option

5094 - Tower - Rack - 0594 12 drives + PCI-X
5095 - Tower - Rack - 0595 45 Drives + PCI-X )or there abouts)

Sound like you purchased the tower expansion instead of the equivalent rack
expansion.

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?
