vPlanning assistance from IBM Global Services or from an IBM Business Partner may be very helpful if this is an unfamiliar area to the customer.

Upgrading from a 6xx or 7xx to an 8xx

Many installed AS/400 Models 6xx and 7xx, except SB1, can be upgraded to an iSeries 400 Model 8xx. 8xx models require V4R5 or later versions of OS/400 depending on the hardware function required.

All system units and expansion units have locations for features including processors, main storage, power, expansion units, disk units, tape drives, CD-ROM drive, and IOPs. Some restrictions may apply to certain combinations of features. The configurator is used by your marketing representative or business partner. It contains the rules and performance considerations for placement of these features. It should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements.

Placing the Upgrade Order

After you have identified what is necessary for the upgrade, continue with the following sections:
