Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measure-
ments and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled
environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary
depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming
in the user’s job stream, the I/O confi guration, the storage confi guration,
and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an
individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the per-
formance ratios stated here.
Photographs shown are engineering prototypes. Changes may be incorpo-
rated in production models.
This equipment is subject to all applicable FCC rules and will comply with
them upon delivery.
Information concerning non-IBM products was obtained from the suppliers
of those products. Questions concerning those products should be directed
to those suppliers.
All customer examples described are presented as illustrations of how
these customers have used IBM products and the results they may have
achieved. Actual environmental costs and performance characteristics may
vary by customer.

Endnotes:
1) The GbE features support two ports per feature and the 10 GbE feature
supports one port per feature.
2) For SNA traffi c in QDIO mode use Enterprise Extender or TN3270E.
3) IEEE 802.1q,
4) When the OSA-Express2 GbE features become available, the OSA-
Express Gigabit Ethernet features will no longer be orderable.
5) The OSA-Express2 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) link data rate does
not represent the actual throughput of the OSA-Express2 10 GbE fea-
ture. Actual throughput is dependent upon many factors, including traffi c
direction, the pattern of acknowledgement traffi c, packet size, the appli-
cation, TCP/IP, the network, disk subsystem, and the number of clients
being served.
6) and OSA-Express
7) VLAN id, IEEE 802.1q
8) As of December 3, 2004, z/VM VSWITCH support exploits the Layer 2
support within the z/VM Control Program
9) and OSA-Express (GbE, 1000BASE-T Ethernet and Fast Ethernet)
10) The PCICA and PCIXCC features are no longer orderable upon the
availability of the Crypto Express2 feature.
11) Crypto Express2, PCIXCC and PCICA features occupy a card slot but
they do not use CHPIDs.
