The console for the DS6800 is IBM part number 425242J that you should order at the same time.
You also need to order Windows Server (2008R2 according to my last IBM notice) to run the console and its application. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Nigel Salway Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 9:19 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: ESS 2105-800 DS6800 comparison Kevin, Thanks for your feedback. In my case, we are already running FICON with the Shark, so we shouldn't see a change in performance there. Is the in-rack laptop a feature be ordered with the DS6800, or is it a matter of buying any compatible laptop and rack mounting it? Can you clarify? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
