18 IBM Power 570 Technical Overview and Introduction
򐂰 When a system is installed in an 7014-T00 or -T42 rack that has no front door, a Thin
Profile Front Trim Kit must be ordered for the rack. The required trim kit for the 7014-T00
rack is FC 6246. The required trim kit for the 7014-T42 rack is FC 6247.
򐂰 The design of the 570 is optimized for use in a 7014-T00 or -T42 rack. Both the front cover
and the processor flex cables occupy space on the front left side of an IBM 7014 rack that
may not be available in typical non-IBM racks.
򐂰 Acoustic Door features are available with the 7014-T00 and 7014-T42 racks to meet the
lower acoustic levels identified in the specification section of this document. The Acoustic
Door feature can be ordered on new T00 and T42 racks or ordered for the T00 and T42
racks that clients already own.
