1.10.2 Power 780
You can upgrade the 9117-MMA, 9179-MHB or 9179-MHC with 9179-MHD processors. For
upgrades from 9117-MMA, 9179-MHB, or 9179-MHC processor-based systems, IBM will
install new CEC enclosures to replace the enclosures you currently have. Your current CEC
enclosures are returned to IBM in exchange for the financial considerations that are identified
under the applicable feature conversions for each upgrade.
Clients taking advantage of the model upgrade offer from 9117-MMA, 9179-MHB, or
9179-MHC processor-based system are required to return all components of the serialized
MT model that were not ordered through feature codes. Any feature for which a feature
conversion is used to obtain a new part must be returned to IBM also. You may keep and
reuse any features from the CEC enclosures that were not involved in a feature conversion
transaction.
Upgrade considerations
Feature conversions are set up for the following items:
POWER6, IBM POWER6+™ and POWER7 processors to POWER7+ processors
DDR2 memory DIMMS to DDR3 memory DIMMS
New trim kits upgrading from 9117-MMA, 9117-MMB or 9179-MHB to 9179-MHD (existing
trim kits are only functional for one-drawer configurations or for racks holding only I/O and
no Power 770 or 780 processor enclosures)
PowerVM (Standard to Enterprise)
Drawer/Bezel
PCIe Crypto Gen3
PCIx 1.5 GB RAID
