Additionally, several service enhancements have also been designed to avoid unscheduled outages and include continued focus on fi rmware quality, reduced chip count on Single Chip Module SCM and memory subsystem improvements. In the area of scheduled outage enhance- ments include redundant 100Mb Ethernet service network with VLAN, rebalance of PSIFB and I/O fanouts, and single processor core sparing and checkstop. Exclusive to the System z10 is the ability to hot swap ICB-4 and Infi niBand hub cards
