I really don't recall what the document would be called that showed what is in the processor at which location. That said, if you have access to the computer room then just open the boxes to see what is in them. At least you would know that I/O cards are there. Does do much for knowing the number and type of processors or memory.
If you have access to the hardware side of IBM support (Resource Link) them maybe the boxes are already listed. If so, then you could see what is in the boxes at which location. I don't recall if it took a "call home" for the boxes to show up. But technically there had to be someone in your company who worked with IBM on configuring the boxes. Between that person and someone in IBM they should have the needed information as to what was ordered. Every time we ordered a new processor IBM emailed me the layout of what was in the box and at what location I would find the I/O cards. Even with that information I would always visually inspect the box to ensure that at least the I/O information matched what IBM had said.

Exactly what each feature code means is sometimes obscure, (especially when it comes to software licensing) but IBM marketing or your reseller will know. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Anton Britz Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2025 8:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: New z16's packing slips CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the Texas Comptroller's email system.

Question : I have 2 new z16's on the computer floor that we need to get working but I need to find the detail of what is in them. What is the terminology in the IBM world for a packing slip ? In the DELL world it is called a packing slip that tells you what is in the machine you ordered. I have full access to all the IBM support sites.
