1One zAAP and/or zIIP maximum per general purpose processor (CP); one CP can satisfy the requirement of one or both specialty engines
2At least one I/O feature (ESCON or FICON) or Coupling Link feature (ICB-4, ISC-3, or InfiniBand) must be present in a server
3 ISC-3 Peer mode only
4 64 external and 32 internal
5 Available only when carried forward on an upgrade (z9 BC maximums for FICON Express2=80, FICON Express=40)
6 OSA-Express3 offers 2-ports per CHPID (except for 10 Gigabit adapters)
7 Initial order of Crypto Express2-1P / Crypto Express2 requires 2 features, maximum of 8 features
8 Excludes the standard fixed size of 8 GB HSA; 248 GB maximum.
9 One I/O drawer and no Internal Battery Feature (IBF).
10 Four I/O drawers and Internal Battery Feature (IBF).
11 Airflow is designed to increase as the local ambient room temperature increases. Nominal airflow assumes 77 degrees F ambient
12 z/OS R1.7 + zIIP Web Deliverable required for System z10 to enable HiperDispatch on System z10 (does not require a zIIP). z/OS V1.7 support was withdrawn September 30, 2008. The Lifecycle Extension for z/OS V1.7 (5637-A01) makes fee-based corrective service for z/OS V1.7 available through September 2009. With this Lifecycle Extension, z/OS V1.7 supports the z10 BC server. Certain functions and features of the z10 BC server require later releases of z/OS. For a complete list of software support, see the PSP buckets and the Software Requirements section of the System z10 BC announcement letter, dated October 21, 2008.
