AS400 Power Requirements

The electrical, UPS, PDU, rack, and cooling requirements needed to install and run an AS/400 or IBM Power server safely.

Definition

AS400 power requirements describe the physical infrastructure needed to run a specific AS/400, iSeries, or IBM Power configuration. The practical checklist includes power circuits, PDU capacity, UPS runtime, rack depth, rail fit, cooling, and service clearance.

Requirements should be checked against the exact configured model, not a generic platform label, because installed options and power supply configuration can change the facilities plan.

Example

Before replacing an older AS/400 with a current Power server, a buyer should verify that the rack, UPS, PDU, and cooling plan can support the final configuration.
