Notes:

  1. Model numbers provided are worldwide generally
    available variant (GAV) model numbers which are not
    orderable as listed and need to be modified by country.
    The U.S. GAV model numbers use the following
    nomenclature: xxU. For example, the U.S. orderable part
    number for 7872-E6Y is 7872-E6U. See the product-specific
    Official IBM announcement letter for other country-specific
    GAV model numbers. GAV to MTM mapping for AP
    Geographies follow the same pattern. Substitute the last
    character with a country-specific designator.
  2. Withdrawal dates are provided for U.S. and Canada only.
    Business Partner Inventory may be available.
