How to Use This Handbook
This Handbook is written for use by IBM System Specialists, Marketing Representatives,
Business Partners, and IBM customers. It is designed for
guidance
only. It is
not
a detailed
configurator since it does not contain full lists of prerequisites that a feature may need. It does
not always list features that may be mutually exclusive. Use this Handbook as a reference for
the options available. Refer to the companion manual,
AS/400e System Builder,
SG24-2155,
for more detailed information and configuration rules. Refer to online IBM systems and your
IBM marketing and support representative for final confirmation.
Periodically, the content of the Handbook is revised to keep readers informed about changes
between hardcopy editions. Revisions are updated on the softcopy version of the Handbook,
annotated as -20a, where “a” represents a level of update. This soft copy is available on the
Web at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/index.html Once the incremental revision is made to the
online edition, it is still available in hardcopy by ordering a print-on-demand copy from
FatBrain via the IBM Redbooks Web site.
