zSeries fi ber cabling now offers three options to address a solution for your fi ber cable installation. Enterprise fi ber cabling offers two additional options to help meet your structured (trunking) environments requirements.

zSeries fi ber cabling:

•Fiber-optic jumper cabling package

will analyze your zSeries channel confi guration and your existing fi ber-optic cabling to determine the appropriate fi ber-optic jumper cables required, then supply, label and install the fi ber-optic jumper cables and complete the installation with a detailed connection report.

•Fiber-optic jumper migration and reuse for a zSeries upgrade

will plan, organize, re-label, re-route and re-plug your existing fi ber-optic jumper cables for reuse with the upgraded zSeries server

•Fiber-optic jumper cables and installation

will supply the fi ber-optic jumper cables you specify, then label and install the fi ber-optic jumper cables.

Enterprise fi ber cabling options:

•zSeries fi ber-optic trunk cabling package

will analyze your zSeries channel confi guration and your existing fi ber-optic infrastructure to determine the appro- priate fi ber-optic harnesses, fi ber-optic trunk cables and the fi ber-optic patch panel boxes required, then supply, label and install the fi ber-optic components to connect your new zSeries server to your existing structured fi ber cabling infrastructure.

•Enterprise fi ber cabling package

will analyze your entire data center confi guration and existing fi ber-optic infrastructure to determine the appro- priate end-to-end enterprise solution for connectivity.

This is a customized offering that includes trunk cables, zone cabinets, patch panels and direct attach har- nesses for servers, directors and storage devices.

These tailored zSeries fi ber cabling options use the same planning and implementation methodologies as IBM’s cus- tomized enterprise fi ber cabling services, only focused on your zSeries fi ber cabling needs.

Fiber Quick Connect (FQC): FQC, a zSeries confi guration option, helps reduce the cable bulk associated with the installation of potentially 240 (z800) to 256 (z900) to 420 (z990) ESCON channels in one I/O cage. Fiber harnesses, which are factory-installed, enable connection to IBM’s Fiber Transport System (FTS) direct-attach fi ber trunk cables. Each trunk can have up to 72 fi ber pairs. Four trunks can displace the 240 to 256 fi ber-optic cables on the z800 or z900.

In planning for zSeries systems, refer to Planning for: S/390 Fiber Optic Links (ESCON, FICON, Coupling Links, and Open System Adapters), GA23-0367, and the Installa- tion Manual Physical Planning (IMPP) manual. Refer to the services section of Resource Link for further details on the zSeries Fiber Cabling Service options and the Fiber Quick Connect confi guration option.
