Licensing an Instant Capacity Cell Board

		Licensing an Instant Capacity Cell Board
		After you purchase an Instant Capacity cell board, its memory, and
		(optionally) processors, HP sends you a letter that contains details on
		how to acquire RTU codewords for the purchased components. The letter
		also describes how to apply the codewords to the system so the
		components are licensed.
		To fully license an Instant Capacity cell board, perform the following two
		steps for each of the cell board, its memory, and any purchased
		processors:
Step	1.	Acquire the appropriate RTU codeword (cell board, memory, or
		processor) from the Utility Pricing Solutions portal
		(http://www.hp.com/go/icod/portal)
Step	2.	Apply the appropriate RTU codeword (cell board, memory, or processor)
		using the icod_modify -Ccommand

IMPORTANT		Codewords must be applied in the sequence in which they are obtained.
