4 64 external and 32 internal
5 Planned availability 2nd quarter 2008
6 Available only when carried forward on an upgrade
7 There are 8 fanouts per book; up to 16 ports per book
8 Number of CHPIDs dependent upon I/O feature and number of channel subsystems
9 Initial order of Crypto Express2 requires 2 features, maximum of 8 features
10 Excludes the standard fixed size of 16 GB HSA
11 Full installed capacity can not be used until second book is installed due to 32 GB increments for memory between 256-512 GB
