  Hope  you mean replace the  620 with and  820  else ....-> 
Bet  you  discard a lot of the 620 going over as at the 810 
level  SPD  technology is no more. Keeping any old  DASD  that  is  slow 
(LT 10K RPM)  or  slow performing  controllers  will be inhibitors 
towards  the  new system working at optimal levels. Hardware  planning , 
set up and movement  are critical  and  require an assurance review.

The 810 might be a CSU (customer set up) system too. With LPAR  systems 
it  is your  responsibility to also:
         Load all the software (  no pre load from  IBM Plant)
         Place  all the feature  cards and DASD in the proper slots
         to match your  desired  end results.
