6 IBM Power 570 Technical Overview and Introduction
Utility CoD autonomically provides additional processor performance on a temporary
basis within the shared processor pool in one minute increments. It adds additional cores
to allow greater parellel operation, and can increase the effective L2 cache of the shared
processor pool
On/Off CoD enables processors or memory to be temporarily activated in full-day
increments as needed.
Trial CoD (exception) offers a one-time, no-additional-charge 30-day trial that allows you to
explore the uses of all inactive processor capacity on your server.
Trial CoD (standard) offers a one-time 2-core activation for 30 days.
Capacity Backup (IBM i only) offers a 1 license entitlement to a backup system on a
temparary basis.
Table 1-3 contains the feature codes for processor cards at the time of writing.
Table 1-3 Processor card and CoD feature codes
1.3.2 Memory features
Processor card feature codes 7380, 5620, and 5622 have 12 memory DIMM slots and must
be populated with POWER6 DDR2 Memory DIMMs. Each processor card feature must have
a minimum of four DIMMs installed. This includes inactive processor card features present in
the system. Table 1-4 shows the memory feature codes that are available at the time of
writing.
All memory card features are available only as Capacity on Demand and support the same
CoD options described for processors (with the exception of Utility CoD).
Memory Trial CoD (exception) offers a one-time, no-additional-charge 30-day trial that
allows you to explore the uses of all memory capacity on your server.
Memory Trial CoD (standard) offers a one-time 4 GB activation for 30 days.
All POWER6 memory features must be purchased with sufficient permanent memory
activation features so that each memory feature is at least 50% active, except memory feature
code 8129 which must be purchased with Activation feature code 5681 for 100% activation.

7951 On/Off Processor Enablement. This feature can be ordered to
enable your server for On/Off Capacity on Demand. Once
enabled, you can request processors on a temporary basis. You
must sign an On/Off Capacity on Demand contract before you
order this feature
