Nope, that the z990. The z900 does not have books, but just a single
MCM with 20 PU's, 16 of which z/OS can use.

I thought that the capacity model allowed you to go all the way from 1
processor to the maximum number of processors. I think the z/900 comes
with books containing 8 processors each. You order 1 book if you need
between 1 and 8 CPs, 2 if you need between 9 and 16, with a maximum of
3 books (I think). The capacity model allows you to go from 1 CP to
the maximum, without having to install anything.
You are allowed to upgrade if you started with say 3 CPs, you can go
all the way up to 8 without having to install anything.

At <http://www-

see this:
Hardware models
General purpose models 101-109, 110-116, 210-216
Capacity models 1C1-1C9, 2C1-2C9
However, I don't see a definition of "Capacity models"; nor do I see
anything that would intuitively distinguish between a "general
purpose> model" and a "capacity model", other than the C in the
model number.
Can somebody give me a clue what "capacity model" means?
TIA,

IIRC the Capacity models mean that they they are able to do
capacity on
demand (COD) upgrades. That is add a CPU on the fly without any
POR or
IPL. Just call IBM, give them your credit card number, some guy
sitting
someplace dials into the box enables one or more CP's, and you now
have
more capacity.
