Chapter 1. Introduction to physical planning
General planning activities
This chapter is intended to help you prepare your physical site for the installation of
an IBM z10 BC server. Marketing and Installation Planning Representatives are also
available to help you with installation planning. Proper planning for your new system
will facilitate a smooth installation and fast system start up.
The use of the terms, “server”, “processor”, “system” and “all models” in this
publication refer to the IBM z10 BC.
System planning
As part of your system planning activity, you will make decisions about where to
locate your equipment, who will operate the system, and so on. A good plan
ensures that the equipment and materials are ready to use when the z10 BC
arrives.
The type of software (operating system and application programs) that you intend to
use must support the features and devices on the system. You should already be
familiar with your software requirements, but may want to contact your IBM
marketing representative for information on planning for the software.
