158 IBM z13s Technical Guide
4.8.1 I/O feature support and configuration rules
Table 4-7 lists the I/O features that are supported. The table shows the number of ports per
card, port increments, the maximum number of feature cards, and the maximum number of
channels for each feature type. Also, the CHPID definitions that are used in the IOCDS are
listed.
Table 4-7 z13 supported I/O features
At least one I/O feature (FICON) or one coupling link feature (ICA SR or HCA3-O) must be
present in the minimum configuration.
The following features can be shared and spanned:
FICON channels that are defined as FC or FCP
OSA-Express5S features that are defined as OSC, OSD, OSE, OSM, OSN, or OSX
OSA-Express4S features that are defined as OSC, OSD, OSE, OSM, OSN, or OSX
