used to obtain a new part must be returned to IBM also. Clients can keep and reuse any
features from the CEC enclosures that were not involved in a feature conversion transaction.
Upgrade considerations
Feature conversions have been set up for:
򐂰 POWER6 and POWER6+ processors to POWER7 processors
򐂰 DDR2 memory DIMMS to DDR3 memory DIMMS
򐂰 Trim kits (A new trim kit is needed when upgrading to a 2-door, 3-door, or 4-door system.)
򐂰 Enterprise enablement
The following features that are present on the current system can be moved to the
new system:
򐂰 DDR3 memory DIMMs (#5600, #5601, and #5602)
򐂰 Active Memory Expansion Enablement (#4791)
򐂰 FSP/Clock Pass Through Card (#5665)
򐂰 Service Processor (#5664) o 175 MB Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card (#5662)
򐂰 Operator Panel (#1853)
򐂰 Disk/Media Backplane (#5652)
򐂰 PCIe adapters with cables, line cords, keyboards, and displays
򐂰 PowerVM Standard edition (#7942) or PowerVm Enterprise edition (#7995)
򐂰 I/O drawers (#5786, #5796, #5802, #5877, and #5886)
򐂰 Racks (#0551, #0553, and #0555)
򐂰 Doors (#6068 and #6069)
򐂰 SATA DVD-RAM (#5762)
The Power 770 and Power 780 can support the following drawers:
򐂰 #5802 and #5877 PCIe 12X I/O drawers
򐂰 #5797 and #7413-G30 PCI-X (12X) I/O Drawer
򐂰 #5786 and #7031-D24 TotalStorage EXP24 SCSI Disk Drawer
򐂰 #5886 EXP12S SAS Disk Drawer
The Power 770 and Power 780 support only the SAS DASD SFF hard disks internally. The
existing 3.5-inch DASD hard disks can be attached to Power 770 and Power 780, but must
be located in an I/O drawer such as #5886.
For POWER6 or POWER6+ processor-based systems that have the On/Off CoD function
enabled, you must reorder the On/Off enablement features (#7951and #7954) when placing
the upgrade MES order for the new Power 770 or 780 system to keep the On/Off CoD
function active. To initiate the model upgrade, the On/Off enablement features should be
removed from the configuration file before the Miscellaneous Equipment Shipment (MES)
order is started. Any temporary use of processors or memory owed to IBM on the existing
system must be paid before installing the new Power 770 model MMC or Power 780
model MHC.
Features #8018 and #8030 are available to support migration of the PowerVM features #7942
or #7995 during the initial order and build of the MMC or MHC upgrade MES order.
Customers can add feature #8018 or #8030 to their upgrade orders in a quantity not to
exceed the quantity of feature #7942 or #7995 obtained for the system being upgraded.
Feature #7942 or #7995 must be migrated to the new configuration report in a quantity that
equals feature #8018 or #8030. Additional #7942 or #7995 features can be ordered during
the upgrade.
Clients can add feature #8018 to their upgrade orders in a quantity not to exceed the quantity
of feature #7942 obtained for the system being upgraded. Feature #7942 must be migrated to
