RE: iSeries compatible racks - bolt hole spacing issue

Chris,

1) What is your current rack manufacture?

2) It wasn't only a spacing issue, but the holes had to be drilled larger.

All modern racks will hold both. I have an IBM rack with IBM Power systems and other manufacture systems installed. I have IBM equipment with other manufacture in some very old racks in our Chicago Cyber Center hosted by Century Link, (was Qwest when we installed our equipment.) (Rittal racks I believe)

The issue is usually not getting the right 3 holes per 1U. If you start at the right spot it will all fall into place.

We will be relocating our data center.
I'm looking for an IBM I compatible rack.
We currently use racks from California Chassis, which have been discontinued.
The iSeries rack was custom, bolt hole spacing different.
Is there a rack that will house both IBM I and non IBM equipment?
