Instant Capacity Components
Cell Boards
Instant Capacity offers you a way to have additional (inactive) cell board capacity in your system for growing business needs. When the need arises, these cell boards, which contain memory and processors, are available for instant activation and use after purchasing a license from HP and applying a RTU codeword.
The cell board, memory, and processors are each licensed separately. To activate an Instant Capacity cell, you must have an Instant Capacity cell license as well as sufficient memory license to enable all memory attached to the cell.
Depending on the need, you may want to license one or more processors at the same time the cell and memory are licensed. After a cell board is activated, all of the licensed processors on the cell board are available for activation if the system has available CPU licenses.
See Chapter 6, “Cell Board Instant Capacity,” on page 91 for more information.
IMPORTANT | You must have one active processor for each active cell board. |

Memory
Memory is contained in a cell board. The entire amount of memory on an Instant Capacity cell board is available for use after the memory RTU codeword is applied and the memory is licensed.
An Instant Capacity cell board must be licensed and activated before its memory can be used, and you cannot activate a cell board without activating all attached memory.
