Customer Install Features (CIF)
Customer Install Features (CIF)
Many AS/400e models are designated as Customer Setup (CSU). Many features for the
current AS/400e product line are Customer Install Features (CIF). CIF/CSU designations
provide the customer with flexibility in installing new AS/400e servers and adding new
features to installed systems. Customers can schedule installations to minimize the
disturbance to their business operations.
MES (Miscellaneous Equipment Specification) is an IBM term for IBM-supplied changes to an
installed or on-order system. On MES orders that include a mix of IBM install and CIF
features, the customer may choose to have the IBM service representative install all the
features (including those designated as CIF). On MES orders where all features are CIF, the
customer can install all the features.
The customer is responsible for the installation of external cables, displays, printers, and
modems. IBM service personnel can perform these activities for a charge.
IBM installation for CSU and CIF units is available for a charge under normal service
contracts.
