IBM 7042-CR8 – Rack-Mounted Hardware Management Console

IBM 7042-CR8. Certification: FCC, Canada ICES-003, issue 4, Class A, UL/IEC 60950-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1, NOM-019, Argentina…. AC adapter input voltage: 100 – 240 V, AC adapter frequency: 50/60 Hz. Width: 429 mm, Height: 43 mm, Depth: 734 mmThe underlying appliance hardware of the Hardware Management Console (HMC) is updated to stay current with updates in hardware technology. The 7042-CR7 system is being replaced with the 7042-CR8.HMCs continue to offer a high-availability feature. The new 7042-CR8, by default, includes two hard drives with RAID 1 configured. If you prefer not to have RAID 1 enabled on the HMC, you can override it in the ordering system and remove the additional hard disk drive (HDD) from the order.RAID 1 is also offered on the 7042-CR6, 7042-CR7, and 7042-CR8 as an MES upgrade option.RAID 1 uses data mirroring. Two physical drives are combined into an array and the same data is written to both drives. This makes the drives a “mirror image” of each other. If one of the drives experiences a failure, it is taken offline and the HMC continues operating with the other drive.
