Does a System i require a proprietary rack?

Folks,

I'm trying to configure a new System i for a customer. They want a rack mount configuration as they already have a rack with plenty of space. I just got off the phone with our BP and he claims that both the System i and System p require special, IBM proprietary racks. This adds considerable cost to the configuration and seems completely unnecessary to me since they already have a rack with ample space. Does the System i require special racks?

(Hoping I am getting the name right of the system formerly known as AS/400)

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
