Channel feature attributes

This appendix lists the cable types and attributes of channel features that are supported on the z14, z13, z13s, zEC12, and zBC12. Not all channel features can be ordered for all server families. Certain features are available only when carried forward on a server upgrade.

The following topic is covered in this appendix:

•Cable types and attributes

Cable types and attributes

Table E-1 lists the cable types and attributes of the channel types that are supported on z14, z13, z13s, zEC12, and zBC12.

Note: Table 1-1 on page 10 lists the maximum number of channels or ports that are supported per server.

The connector type for most fiber optic cable types is LC duplex, with the following exceptions:

zHyperLink Express MTP connector

12x IFB MPO connector

ICA SR MTP connector

1000BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 connector (UTP copper Ethernet cable)

See Appendix F, “Fiber optic cables” on page 201 for more information on fiber optic cables and connector types.

The footnotes in Table E-1 reflect special considerations for certain features. Check the referenced chapters for in-depth information.

The Carry forward only withdrawn from marketing (WDFM) column indicates special conditions for each feature. WDFM means that the feature is supported on the platform. However, because the feature at this platform is withdrawn from marketing, no ordering is possible. Carry forward means that the feature can be transferred to the new platform only by using the miscellaneous equipment specification (MES) process. The feature cannot be ordered for a new build system. For details about support of extended distances, see “Extended distance solutions” on page 163.

¹ Minimum fiber bandwidths in MHz/km for multimode fiber optic links are included in parentheses where
applicable.

² See the HMC driver level for feature support.

³ There are two feature codes for the ISC-3:

- Feature code 0217 is for the ISC Mother card (ISC-M).

- Feature code 0218 is for the ISC Daughter card (ISC-D).
