Hello,

Is it possible to install DS8A10 in customer rack with another IBM product like Z16 or TS7780 ?

Hi,

I don't think this is possible at the minute. The initial release of the DS8A10 (model 5341-A01) comes in its own rack, similar to the previous version the DS8910 model 994. I would expect a rackless version to follow at some point, and I was expecting this to be announced in the second half of 2025. I'll see if I can find some roadmap info and provide you with an update.

Thanks

Darren
