Thanks Dukessd. Could you please provide more details on what you mean by this?

Had a dig into the IBM's requirements. The word 'must' in the below IBM HW requirements concerns me. However when reading the hardware requirements the impression I'm getting is that it's only for stability concerns but there is nothing to say if a particular feature (ie booting, service processor functions, booting, connectivity etc would be affected). Sole purpose for me is an R&D test box for now. Any further hints from anyone that HAS had setup such a system without one of these two below mentioned racks would be great.
[ IBM Requirements ]---------------------------
Hardware Requirements
The p5 model 570 must be installed in a new or existing 7014-T00 or T42 rack with power distribution features 9176, 9177, 9178, or 9188, or equivalent rack. This provides:
Proper dimensions
Mounting surfaces
Power distribution
Ventilation
Stability
Other functional requirements
The design of the p5 model 570 is optimized for use in an IBM 7014-T00 or T42 rack. Both the front cover and the processor flex cables occupy space on the front left side of an IBM 7014 rack that may not be available in typical non-IBM racks.

update-gap-workspace
UPDATE-GAP-WORKSPACE(1) User Commands UPDATE-GAP-WORKSPACE(1)
NAME
update-gap-workspace - manage a GAP workspace.
SYNOPSIS
update-gap-workspace
update-gap-workspace update
Create or update the GAP workspace.
update-gap-workspace delete
Delete the GAP workspace.
DESCRIPTION
At start up, GAP load all libraries and packages available on the system. This take several seconds. To save time, GAP can store the
result of this initialisation in a `workspace'. update-gap-workspace help to manage such workspaces. update-gap-workspace can be run as
root to manage the system-wide workspace. update-gap-workspace can be run as a normal user. In this case the workspace is stored in
$HOME/gap/workspace.gz.
Note that you need to rebuild the workspace each time GAP packages are added, removed or updated. To automate that task, if the system-wide
workspace exists, it is automatically updated whenever a GAP-related Debian package is installed or upgraded.
The gap script will automatically load such workspace at start up.
FILES
/var/lib/gap/workspace.gz:
The system-wide GAP workspace.
$HOME/gap/workspace.gz:
The user-specific GAP workspace.
SEE ALSO
gap(1), The `SaveWorkspace' function in the GAP manual.
AUTHOR
Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>
NOTES
We are considering enabling the system-wide workspace per default, though this feature could be too confusing for old-time GAP users. If
you have opinions about it, please mail <gap@packages.debian.org>.
