RE: AS/400 Mod 510 Upgrade question

[Glenn Birnbaum <gbirnba@xxxxxxx>]

If the 510 has feature 2143, it's rated at 83 cpw.  If it's feature is a 2144, 
it's rated approx. 110 cpw.  Do a WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*PRC)to determine the 
processor feature.

Subject: AS/400 Mod 510 Upgrade question


All,

We have a model 510  P30 on V4R4.  Our BP just told us that Jun 30 is the last 
chance we have to upgrade this box to a newer model.

We asked for a quote based on this:  Upgrade to a 7xx series but go down from 
the P30 to a P20.  He was totally flabbergasted.  

I just thought I would check if this is possible ?  Or based on today's 
announcements, should I just wait until they drop the prices on the 7xx and buy 
a new box ?

Also, does anyone know what the CPW would be on the 510 ?  When it came out, 
they didn't use CPW. Makes it difficult to show management that we would not be 
losing horsepower by going to the lower processor group when we don't have the 
same type of measurements.

TIA,
Cyndi Bradberry
