The following features that are present on the current system can be moved to the new system if they are supported in the Power E870 and E880:Disks (within an EXP24S I/O drawer) SSDs (within an EXP24S I/O drawer) PCIe adapters with cables, line cords, keyboards, and displays Racks Doors EXP24S I/O drawers For POWER7+ processor-based systems that have the Elastic CoD function enabled, you must reorder the elastic CoD enablement features when placing the upgrade MES order for the new Power E870 or E880 system to keep the elastic CoD function active. To initiate the model upgrade, the on/off enablement features should be removed from the configuration file before the MES order is started. Any temporary use of processors or memory owed to IBM on the existing system must be paid before installing the Power E870 or E880.
