About Capacity on Demand
The COD feature allows you to configure spare processing resources on your
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 server in the form of one or more COD CPUs which
can be activated at a later date when additional processing power is needed. To
access each COD CPU, you must purchase a COD Hardware Activation Option.
Under certain conditions, you can use COD resources before purchasing COD
Hardware Activation Options for them.
COD Boards
A COD board is a system board that has been configured at the factory for COD
capability. COD boards come in the same configurations as standard system boards.
The number of CPUs per COD board depends on the configuration of your server.
