Other configuration features
This section includes information about the following optional feature codes that
you can specify to customize or to receive your DS8000 storage unit:
v Extended power line disturbance (EPLD) option
v
Remote System z power control option
v Earthquake Resistance Kit option
v
BSMI certificate (Taiwan)
v Shipping weight reduction option
Extended power line disturbance
The extended power line disturbance (EPLD) feature allows your storage unit to be
protected for 50 seconds, rather than only milliseconds, from a power line
disturbance. This feature is optional for your storage unit configuration.
Without the EPLD feature, a standard DS8000 storage unit offers you about 30
milliseconds of protection from power line disturbances. Adding this feature
increases your protection to 50 seconds.
You order the EPLD feature for your storage unit. All models must contain battery
assemblies. “Configuration rules for power features” on page 116 provides more
information about the configuration rules for battery assemblies.
Feature code for extended power line disturbance
Use this feature code when you order the extended power line disturbance feature
for your storage unit.
You can order this feature with the following feature code:
1055 Extended power line disturbance (all models)
Remote zSeries power control feature
The optional remote zSeries
®
power control feature adds a logic card that allows
one or more attached System z or S/390 hosts to control the power on and power
off sequences for your storage unit.
When you use this feature, you must specify the zSeries power control setting in
the DS Storage Manager that is running on the management console.
This feature includes the cables necessary to connect the logic card.
Feature code for remote zSeries power control
Use this feature code when you order the remote zSeries power control feature for
your storage unit.
1000 Remote zSeries power control
Earthquake Resistance Kit
The Earthquake Resistance Kit is an optional seismic kit for stabilizing the storage
unit rack, so that the rack complies with IBM earthquake resistance standards.
The Earthquake Resistance Kit option is available for models 951 and 95E (by
feature code number 1906).
