z10 BC Model Structure

Model	PU	PUs for	Max Avail	Standard	Standard	CP/IFL/	Max	Max
		Customer	Subcapacity	SAPs	Spares	ICF/zAAP/	Customer	Chan.
		CPs				zIIP**	Memory
E10	4	10	5	2	0	5/10/10/5/5	248 GB	480*

*Max is for ESCON channels.

**For each zAAP and/or zIIP installed there must be a corresponding CP. The CP may satisfy the requirement for both the zAAP and/or zIIP. The combined number of zAAPs and/or zIIPs can not be more than 2x the number of general purpose processors (CPs).

•N-2 Server generation connections allowed

•Theoretical maximum rates shown

•1x PSIFBs support single data rate (SDR) at 2.5 Gbps when connected to a DWDM capable of SDR speed and double data rate (DDR) at 5 Gbps when connected to a DWDM capable of DDR speed

•System z9 does NOT support 1x IB-DDR or SDR Infi niBand Coupling Links

*Note: The Infi niBand link data rate of 6 GBps, 3 GBps or 5 Gbps does not represent the performance of the link. The actual performance is depen- dent upon many factors including latency through the adapters, cable lengths, and the type of workload. With Infi niBand coupling links, while the link data rate may be higher than that of ICB, the service times of coupling operations are greater, and the actual throughput may be less than with ICB links.
