On/Off Capacity on Demand

The On/Off memory enablement feature is ordered and the associated enablement code is entered into the system. On/off usage must be reported to IBM at least monthly. This information, which is used to compute your billing data, is then provided to the sales channel, which will place an order for a quantity of On/Off Memory day billing features. One FC 7957 should be ordered for each billable day and for each 1GB increment of DDR1 memory.

On/Off memory enablement can be activated with FC 7954.

Capacity Upgrade on Demand for memory feature codes

This section describes the CUoD for memory activation feature codes and provides some examples of memory granularity depending on the activation feature codes.

The feature codes to activate the memory are:

￿Base memory CUoD, 8 GB (4 GB activated): FC 7890

￿On/Off enablement memory: FC 7954

￿1 GB memory activation: FC 7950

￿CUoD 1 GB memory: FC 7952

￿On/Off one day billing: FC 7957

Based on these feature codes, use Table 3-1to see examples of increments and granularity that CUoD for memory offers, compared to base installed memory (non-CUoD feature codes).

3.1.3 How to report temporary activation resources

There are three methods for reporting information about usage of On/Off Capacity on Demand to IBM (contact your areas IBM representative for the numbers and addresses):

￿Using Electronic Service Agent™

Monthly reporting of temporary capacity billing information can be sent to IBM electronically using the Electronic Service Agent, which is part of the Hardware Management Console, and is designed to monitor events and to transmit server inventory information to IBM on a periodic, customer-definable timetable.

￿Using fax
