1 Preface
The data centers of today and tomorrow have to meet the continuously
increasing requirements and demands of operators. Fujitsu has been offering
well thought-out and permanently evolved rack systems for decades now. This
in-depth experience with the development and operation of data centers and the
associated close contact with operators is also reflected in the latest
PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack family.
In addition to the proven racks with asymmetrical base frames for the unique,
optimized Fujitsu cable management, the rack family has been supplemented
by symmetrical racks in widths of 600 und 700 mm. By removing the side
mounting locations the additional symmetrical version with a width of 600 mm
requires less space within the data center. This makes it ideally suited for data
centers, where minimal space requirements for the rack are an issue.
Figure 1: Different variants of the PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack
Constant changes in infrastructure requirements as well as increasing cost
pressures on companies call for flexible and expandable solutions. The new
PRIMECENTER M1 rack family of Fujitsu Technology Solutions offers precisely

the flexibility you need to cover your current requirements. Consequently,
PRIMECENTER M1 racks can also be integrated in future concepts and thus
offer long-term investment protection.
The rack technology combines an entire IT infrastructure with rack servers,
storage systems, power supply components as well as controls, such as
consoles and switches, within the smallest data center footprint. The
PRIMECENTER M1 racks can be expanded horizontally and blend into existing
IT scenarios. They are based on the industry standards EIA-310-D, DIN41494
and IEC60297. The new PRIMECENTER M1 racks are available as
asymmetrical and symmetrical versions.
As a special feature the symmetrical version also has up to 4 vertical slots of 1
height unit for the installation of additional devices, e.g. switches. Asymmetrical
PRIMECENTER M1 racks are equipped with up to 6 vertical slots to the left of
the 19-inch area. Proven Fujitsu cable management with its arrangement on the
side enables optimal ventilation with high heat throughput even in fully equipped
and cabled racks with a low rack depth of 1050 mm. The design ensures
serviceability and ease of maintenance through a one-piece front door and split
rear doors.
The PRIMECENTER M1 rack systems with their lockable doors offer access
protection for servers, backup media and optical drives. They also offer
protection against electromagnetic influences, up to protection of cabling.
PRIMECENTER M1 racks with 16 and 24 height units are ideally suited to
provide secure and space-saving IT solutions not only, but particularly for office
environments. Fujitsu Technology Solutions has therefore had optimal rack
systems in its product portfolio for decades now, and in addition to servers has
also had the associated storage subsystems, uninterruptible power supplies
and other accessories such as rack management components, console
switches and systems for mounting tape drives.
PRIMECENTER M1 Racks ensure optimal and reliable installation of 19" rack
components and high passive throughput in ventilation thanks to optimized
cable routing and a new door design.
1.1 Features
The new PRIMECENTER M1 rack family offers in an attractive new design a
large selection of rack heights and widths for the various requirements in data
centers or IT rooms.

11
Preface
The optimized cable management patented by Fujitsu Technology Solutions is
a major highlight in the asymmetrical PRIMECENTER M1 rack system. The
asymmetrical rack structure with a section for side cable routing reduces the
impairment to the air flow behind the rack devices. Guiding of the cables via
swivel arms on the systems and within the cable conduit permits perfect routing
of the cables, prevents their being stressed below the minimum bending radius,
secures cables against dropping or twisting, and thus permits clean and clear
cabling in the entire rack. This means of cabling, particularly in fully equipped
racks, increases system availability and reduces maintenance and upgrade
times. The offer is supplemented by new symmetrical racks in widths of 600 mm
and 700 mm. The symmetrical 700 mm racks also offer as a special feature up
to 4 slots on the front for the installation of switches or the switch cabling in the
rack.
New rack doors in an attractive design with honeycomb-shaped perforations
also offer (approx. 80% holes) optimal prerequisites for the cooling of high-
performance systems.

VCAUTION!
●The maximum transport weight may not exceed a specific maximum
(see table "Summary of all rack types" on page 26).
●For safety reasons, no more than one unit must be pulled out of
the rack at a time, otherwise the rack may tip over.
This is illustrated by the following pictograms:
●Before mounting a server in the PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack,
remove all heavy and easily removable server components such as
hot-plug disks and power supply modules since this makes the server
lighter and easier to mount. Follow the instructions in the user manual
of the server.
●If necessary, have other people help you mount the individual
components in the rack because of the weight involved.
●Before pushing extended telescopic rails back into the rack, pull the
ball cage of the telescopic rail forward as far as it will go.
●Install only system expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules
governing safety. If you install other expansions, you may damage the
system or violate these safety regulations. Information can be
obtained from customer service or your local sales office.
●If you cause a defect on the device by installing or exchanging system
expansions due to wrong handling, the warranty is invalidated.
●The configurations available in the PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack
can carry a leakage current >3.5 mA. Therefore, a ground connection
must be established before connecting to the mains (see chapter
"Power Distribution" on page 67).

19
Important Information
VCAUTION!
The AC main power connection for the PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack
must be installed by an authorized electrician approved by the local utility
company.
2.2 Notes on mounting the rack components
Before you start mounting components in the rack, please identify the positions
of the individual components in the PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack according
to the configuration generated using the "SystemArchitect" (see page 35). You
should then mark the positions using the relevant assembly aid, if one was
supplied with the rack component.
Marking and numbering the height units simplifies the assembly when installing
and adding on components.
The maximum mounting height for the PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch rack is
16/24/42 height units (HU). One height unit corresponds to 44.45 mm (see
page 44).
Observe the following rules when mounting the components:
●Mount the components in the rack from bottom to top.
●Mount heavy parts at the bottom, e.g. the uninterruptible power supply.
●Mount the keyboard or rack console at a height that makes it easy to operate
(HU 17 - 21).
●Position the dummy covers so that later planned extensions can be installed
without having to rearrange components.
●To accommodate the ventilation concept and ensure proper ventilation of all
the components in the rack, any unused areas must be closed using dummy
covers.
●Mount the unit in accordance with the technical manual and assembly aid
supplied.
