number will be reported by the Store System Information (STSI) instruction for software billing purposes only. There is no affi nity between the hardware model and the number of CPs. For example, it is possible to have a Model E26 which has 13 PUs characterized as CPs, so for software billing purposes, the STSI instruction would report 713.
z10 EC model upgrades
There are full upgrades within the z10 EC models and upgrades from any z9 EC or z990 to any z10 EC. Upgrade of z10 EC Models E12, E26, E40 and E56 to the E64 is disruptive. When upgrading to z10 EC Model E64, unlike the z9 EC, the fi rst book is retained. There are no direct upgrades from the z9 BC or IBM eServer zSeries 900 (z900), or previous generation IBM eServer zSeries.

For the z10 EC models with
z10 EC Model Capacity Identifi ers:
•700, 401 to 412, 501 to 512, 601 to 612 and 701 to 764
•Capacity setting 700 does not have any CP engines
•Nxx, where n = the capacity setting of the engine, and xx = the number of PU characterized as CPs in the CEC
•Once xx exceeds 12, then all CP engines are full capacity
z10 EC Base and Sub-capacity Offerings
•The z10 EC has 36 additional capacity settings at the low end
•Available on ANY H/W Model for 1 to 12 CPs. Models with 13 CPs or greater have to be full capacity
•All CPs must be the same capacity within the z10 EC
•All specialty engines run at full capacity. The one for one entitle- ment to purchase one zAAP or one zIIP for each CP purchased is the same for CPs of any capacity.
•Only 12 CPs can have granular capacity, other PUs must be CBU or characterized as specialty engines
