You will use the display shown in Figure 10-81 to enter the processor and memory activation
keys provided to you by IBM or your business partner. You may have more than one key to
enter.

Enter the CoD activation key and click Continue. You may need to enter one or more keys.
To receive the key, call the hardware provider with the information displayed on the CoD
Order Information display.
Entering the key or keys does not make the processor or memory immediately available to be
used. You must first complete the action to allow CoD Recovery in order for the keys to be
recognized by the firmware and the hardware to be made available.
Enabling activation keys using CoD recovery
You will use the display shown in Figure 10-82 to enable the processor and memory activation
keys. By continuing with CoD recovery, the firmware causes the CoD key(s) to become
recognized and the additional hardware becomes allocated and available for use.
