Capacity Upgrade on Demand processor cores and memory units

This information lists the number of active and inactive processor cores and memory units available for each server model.

Your managed systems include a number of active processor cores and memory units. They can also include inactive processor cores and memory units. Active processor cores or memory units are processor cores or memory units that are already available for use on your server when it comes from the manufacturer. Inactive processor cores or memory units are processor cores or memory units that are included with your server, but not available for use until you activate them. Inactive processor cores and memory units can be permanently activated by purchasing an activation feature and entering the provided activation code on your server. For information about ordering, see Ordering Capacity Upgrade on Demand activation features.

The activation code is unique to your server and is posted at the website IBM® Capacity on Demand: Activation code.

Allow several days for order processing and activation code posting to take place.

These tables list the number of active and inactive processor cores and memory units that are available for each server model.
