Trial Capacity on Demand
IBM Eserver Trial Capacity on Demand is quick, easy, and ready when you are.
Use it for trial processor capacity or trial memory capacity, or for both. Trial
Capacity on Demand is offered at no additional charge.
IBM provides you with a code (a key) to start the trial. The code is good for 30
consecutive powered-on days, after it is entered at the server console. A request
for trial processor or memory capacity can be made after initial installation, after
a processor upgrade, or after the purchase of one or more permanent processor
activations.
You must make the trial capacity available to be reclaimed by the server at the
end of the trial period.

or start the trial, go to:

iSeries for Capacity BackUp Edition
iSeries for Capacity BackUp (CBU) Edition is offered for the Eserver i5 570, and
iSeries Models 825, 870, and 890. These servers provide a solution that requires
an off-site, disaster recovery system. CBU is not intended as a backup server for
24x7 high availability solutions that require day-to-day full operation of a backup
server.
The IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries for CBU server has a minimum set of startup
processors that can be used for any purpose and a large number of inactive
processors that can be activated temporarily at no charge in the event of a
disaster. The inactive processors cannot be permanently activated.
Trial capacity
The Model 890 #2487 and #2488 processors, the Model 840 #2416, #2417,
#2419, #2352, #2353, and #2354 processors, and the Model 830 #2349
processor each come with inactive capacity that can be permanently activated
(CoD). These models offer trial capacity, which is a means of “trying” on demand
capacity before buying it. Trial capacity allows 100% of the inactive processors to
Note: The process to enable inactive processors temporarily is the same as
for the temporary capacity process for the IBM Eserver i5 Model 570, and
the iSeries Model 825, 870, and 890 servers.
