64-bit PCI slots.
– Includes Base Main Storage Expansion Card with CSP (CCIN 2884)
Interactive Features
The Model 820 supports various levels of interactive performance through the installation of
interactive features. Interactive CPW is an approximate value reflecting the portion of
Processor CPW that can be used for workloads performing interactive-based tasks (5250).
An iSeries server 820 can be effectively managed with an interactive CPW of 0 available for
application workloads. The zero interactive CPW supports a single interactive job for system
administrative functions. Considerations include:
• A job started from a console (green screen) to perform a system administration
function is not considered interactive work if it is the only interactive job running (single
interactive job exception).
• A system administration job submitted to batch is not considered interactive work.
• The use of Operations Navigator (GUI administration functions) is not considered
interactive work.
The available interactive options are shown in the table on page 146.
For a discussion of how these features influence system performance, see “IBM Workload
Estimator for AS/400” on page 42.
Use the feature cross-reference table to relate the Processor Feature Code to the Processor
and Interactive features visible in the iSeries configurator. Display the QPRCFEAT system
value or find within the rack configuration report to determine the Processor Feature Code.
The Processor Feature Code is used when ordering software license keys.
Processor Group is determined by a combination of the Processor and Interactive Feature.
The following table provides a cross reference.
