model of z10 BC. All upgrades from previous systems will be accomplished by

Differences between IBM servers
Minimum comparison information is provided here for those who may be placing a
z10 BC on a raised floor with previous IBM single-frame servers.
The z10 BC, z9 BC, z890, and z800 servers always consist of one frame.
If you are replacing an existing IBM server, refer carefully to the Installation Manual
for Physical Planning (available on the Resource Link web site) to determine actual
differences between your installed IBM server and the z10 BC. Plan views, physical
dimensions, service clearances, aisle spacing, and power and cooling requirements
may be substantially different.
