On a -0A1, the "general purpose" CP is "crippled" or slowed down. If you can afford an IFL, then the IFL runs at "full speed" even on a "crippled" z/800. Are you running a z/OS or z/OS.e workload at all? If not, then I would suggest that you should have gotten a -0LF which is "Linux only". Of course, I don't know the cost of a -0A1 vs. a -0LF, so I may be off-base. Your original email seemed to imply that this machine was "Linux only", but I may be misunderstanding.
