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.

language::intercal::charset::hollerith
INTERCAL::Charset::Hollerith(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation INTERCAL::Charset::Hollerith(3pm)
NAME
Charset::Hollerith - allows to use Hollerith string constants in ASCII programs (and v.v.)
SYNOPSIS
use Charset::Hollerith qw(hollerith2ascii);
my $a = hollerith2ascii "(Hollerith text)";
DESCRIPTION
Charset::Hollerith defines functions to convert between a subset of ASCII and a subset of nonstandard Hollerith (since there isn't such a
thing as a standard Hollerith we defined our own variant which is guaranteed to be incompatible with all versions of Hollerith used by IBM
hardware - however, for each character code we have used the code used by some (but not all) IBM card reader, if the code exists in Hol-
lerith at all, or we have made one up in some logical way (such as overpunching) if no IBM hardware had that particular character.
The two functions hollerith2ascii and ascii2hollerith are exportable but not exported by default. They do the obvious thing to their argu-
ment.
HOLLERITH CHARACTER TABLE
A Hollerith string is a sequence of 12-bit characters; they are encoded as two ASCII characters, containing 6 bits each: the first charac-
ter contains punches 12, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and the second character contains punches 11, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; interleaving the two characters gives
the original 12 bits. To make the characters printable on ASCII terminals, bit 7 is always set to 0, and bit 6 is set to the complement of
bit 5. These two bits are ignored when reading Hollerith cards.
Some Hollerith characters (produced by overpunching) can be converted to sequences of ASCII characters; ascii2hollerith will correctly
recognise the sequences.
The following punched cards document the encoding of characters (the last three symbols at the end nongraphic symbols in ASCII; the previ-
ous two symbols correspond to multicharacter sequences):

PLEASE NOTE that versions of CLC-INTERCAL before 1.-94.-2 had a bug which caused a rabbit to be represented as 12-3-2-8 instead of
12-3-7-8. Cards punched with such older versions, and containing rabbits, will need to be copied with one of the rabbit holes moved from
row 2 to row 7.
