Chapter 7. IBM iSeries 820, 830, and 840
features and placement
This chapter describes the features that are supported in the IBM iSeries 820, 830, and 840
system units and towers, such as the power and packaging, main storage, workstation
controllers, and communications features. This includes local area networks (LANs), disk
units, internal tape units, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, and magnetic media controllers.
The feature codes that are described in this chapter are not supported in every IBM eServer
i5 and iSeries server model that is available today. The descriptions, therefore, specifically
state in which models they are supported. The feature code descriptions indicate the required
minimum operating system level and, in some cases, the PTF level.
Refer to IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook, GA19-5486, for a table of features
that are supported in each server. Refer also to the iSeries Prerequisite tool for up-to-date
information about the software level that is required for iSeries features. You can find
information about this tool at:

For details about hardware that is supported in migration towers, see Chapter 5, “IBM
AS/400e 720, 730, and 740 models” on page 129. You can find the HSL, SPCN, and Dual
Line Cord feature codes and descriptions in Chapter 13, “Cable part numbers for IBM iSeries
and AS/400e systems” on page 461.
