  19. IBM Editions – Power Express 710 - 740 • Get 50% of the processor core activations at no-charge – Remember … 100% processor core activations required • Initial purchase of a new box (or in an upgrade from 520 to 720) – Later MES orders adding cores do NOT qualify for no-charge activations – Recommend buy more now to save on later purchase Minimum requirements to qualify for edition Mdl Memory* I/O 710 2 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD 720 2 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD 730 4 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD 740 4 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD * “Rounded up” if needed. In some cases, the actual memory required to be ordered may be higher than 2 or 4 GB per core. Th is could happen if for example with a 6-core 720 which according to the formula requires 12GB on the server. However, there is no way to order 12GB, and you end up ordering a minimum of 16GB 9/9/2010 IBM August 2010 POWER7 Announcements 41
