Capacity on Demand
Chapter 4.
The p5-590 and p5-595 systems can be shipped with inactive processor and
memory resources, which may be activated at a future point in time without
affecting normal machine operation. This ability is called
(CoD) and provides flexibility and improved granularity in processor and memory
upgrades.
