That unit is similar to the Intel Server System SR1695GPRX 4 hot swap drive unit. What does IBM claim for weight?<br />

I know it's a 1U server but it's the size in the box that matters for transporting it.

I gave up in the end, weighed and measured a 2U Sparc in its box and gave them that as an over-estimate. It's flying from UK to South Africa for its vacation ;)

Not your average technical question...<br />

I need to know the size and weight for an IBM x3250 m3 in its cardboard box to see how much it's going to cost to ship. IBM have some info on their website but I don't trust it since the figures they have for a rack server are the same as for a tower one.<br />
<br />
Anyone got one still in the box it came in?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
