z10 BC model upgrades
The z10 BC provides for the dynamic and fl exible capac-
ity growth for mainframe servers. There are full upgrades
within the z10 BC and upgrades from any z9 BC or z890 to
any z10 BC. Temporary capacity upgrades are available
through On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD).
For the z10 BC models, there are twenty-six capacity
settings per engine for central processors (CPs). Sub-
capacity processors have availability of z10 BC features/
functions and any-to-any upgradeability is available within
the sub-capacity matrix. All CPs must be the same capac-
ity setting size within one z10 BC. All specialty engines run
at full speed.
The one for one entitlement to purchase one zAAP and/or
one zIIP for each CP purchased is the same for CPs of
any speed.
z10 BC Model Capacity IDs:
• A00, A01 to Z01, A01 to Z02, A03 to Z03, A04 to Z04,
and A05 to Z05
• Capacity setting A00 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 CPC
