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 7233-2RY is 7233-2RU. See the product specific Official
    IBM announcement letter for other country-specific GAV model
    numbers. GAV to MTM mapping for L.A. and A.P. Geographies
    follow the same pattern. Substitute the last character with a country-
    specific designator.
  2. System x3850/3950 M2 comes standard with a remote supervisor
    adapter II.
  3. E5Y is an express model.
  4. LC abbreviation indicates that the US models ship standard with a line cord.
    Models without line cords will be indicated with a hyphen.
