Page: 32 / 132

System upgrades
Any model of 2086 (zSeries 890) or 2096 (System z9
®
BC) is upgradeable to any
model of z10 BC. All upgrades from previous systems will be accomplished by
removing the old system (z890 or z9 BC) and replacing it with a new one (z10 BC).
For physical planning purposes, you must verify system placement considering:
v
weight distribution
v power availability
v
power access
v machine and service clearance area
v
air conditioning delivery
v thermal interaction
v
cable locations
v floor tile cutouts.
Differences between IBM servers
Minimum comparison information is provided here for those who may be placing a
z10 BC on a raised floor with previous IBM single-frame servers.

If you are replacing an existing IBM server, refer carefully to the Installation Manual
for Physical Planning (available on the Resource Link web site) to determine actual
differences between your installed IBM server and the z10 BC. Plan views, physical
dimensions, service clearances, aisle spacing, and power and cooling requirements
may be substantially different.
