Moving Hardware

iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor and/or package features is iSeries system password protected. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor and/or package features outside IBM standard practices and procedures, may void the server warranty or service contracts.

Any unauthorized (Non IBM conversion/upgrade) movement of processor features (processor parts) and/or package features (capacity card) will disable any previously activated/enabled standby processor capacity.

Any physical addition/removal of processor features (processor parts) and/or package features (capacity card) that results in an invalid configuration will make the server itself unusable (server will not IPL without a valid

configuration).

Parts resulting from the fulfillment of an order for a processor conversion are directly tied to a target server (serial number), the parts are not transferable to a server with a different serial number. Installing the parts on a server with a different serial number is not supported by IBM.

Results of Moving iSeries Hardware

Adding/Removing just the Processor Feature (Processor Parts)

A) Non-CUoD Models: Removing hardware from machine "A" and putting them into machine "B":

NOT POSSIBLE TO GET A VALID CONFIGURATION on MACHINE "A" WHEN ADDING ONLY PROCESSOR PARTS (machine will not IPL) B) CUoD Models: Removing Hardware from machine "A" and putting them into machine "B":

NOT POSSIBLE TO GET A VALID CONFIGURATION on MACHINE "A" WHEN ADDING ONLY PROCESSOR PARTS (machine will notIPL)

Adding/Removing just the Package Feature (Capacity Card) ....... or .....

Adding/Removing a Processor Feature (Processor Parts) with associated Package Feature (Capacity Card)

A) Non-CUoD Models: Removing hardware from machine "A" and putting it into machine"B":

1) If machine"B" ends up with a valid configuration and it's original serial number ...

then machine "B" will IPL with 100% of the installed processor capacity as well as 100% of the function associated with the Package Feature (Capacity Card)

NOTE: the machine will IPL in 70 day bypass mode and a new system password will be required (because the hardware changed)

2)If machine "B" ends up with an invalid configuration (not something that could be ordered in the iSeries configurator) ... then machine "B" will not IPL

B)CUoD Models: Removing hardware from machine "A" and putting it into machine "B":

1) If machine"B" ends up with a valid configuration and it's original serial number ...

then machine "B" will IPL with 100% of the start-up processor capacity, 0% of any previously activated standby processor capacity, and 100% of the function associated with the Package Feature (Capacity Card)

NOTE1: the machine will IPL in 70 day bypass mode and a new system password will be required (because the hardware changed)

NOTE2: To refresh previously purchased activations, a maintenance action would be required to replace the Capacity Card

and recieve a refreshed set of Activation Codes from IBM Level II (Activation Codes will not be provided if the Serial# of the Capacity Card being returned as part of maintenance action does not match the Capacity Card Serial# stored in the IBM machine records reviewed by Level II)

NOTE3: To purchase new activation/enablement features, a maintenance action would be required (if not done for NOTE 2) to replace the Capacity Card and then an order would have to be placed in the iSeries configurator for theproper features

2) If machine "B" ends up with an invalid configuraiton (not something that could be ordered in the iSeries configurator) ... then machine "B" will not IPL

Exchanging an Entire Server

A)Non-CUoD Models: Machine will IPL with 100% of installed processor capacity as well as 100% of the function associated with the

Package Feature (CCapacity Card

B)CUoD Models: Machine will IPL with 100% of startup processor capacity, 100% of any previously activated standby processor capacity, and 100% of the function associated with the Processor Feature (Capacity Card)

NOTE: To purchase new activation/enablement features, an order would be placed in theiSeries configurator
