54 p5-570 Technical Overview and Introduction
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 3-1 to 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.
