Chapter 22. Customer Install Features
Many iSeries models are designated as Customer Setup (CSU). Several of the
features for the current product line are Customer Install Features (CIF). CIF and
CSU designations provide the customer with flexibility in installing new iSeries
servers and adding new features to installed systems. Customers can schedule
installations to minimize the disturbance to their business operations.
Miscellaneous Equipment Specification (MES) is an IBM term for IBM-supplied
changes to an installed or on-order system. On MES orders that include a
mixture of IBM install and CIF features, the customer may choose to have the
IBM service representative install all of the features, including those designated
as CIF. On MES orders where all features are CIF, the customer can install all of
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.
