Installation Cabling and Power Up Adding Processors with Instant Capacity On Demand (iCOD) The Instant Capacity On Demand (iCOD) program provides access to additional CPU resources beyond the amount that was purchased for the server. This provides the ability to activate additional CPU power for unexpected growth and unexpected spikes in workloads. Internally, iCOD systems physically have more CPUs, called iCOD CPUs, than the number of CPUs actually purchased. These iCOD CPUs reside in the purchased system, but they belong to HP and therefore are HP assets. A nominal "Right-To-Access Fee" is paid to HP for each iCOD processor in the system. At any time, any number of iCOD CPUs can be "activated." Activating an iCOD CPU automatically and instantaneously transforms the iCOD CPU into an instantly ordered and fulfilled CPU upgrade that requires payment. After the iCOD CPU is activated and paid for, it is no longer an iCOD CPU, but is now an ordered and delivered CPU upgrade for the system. The most current information on installing, configuring, and troubleshooting iCOD can be found at http://docs.hp.com NOTE Ensure that the customer is aware of the iCOD email requirements.

Adding Processors with Instant Capacity On Demand (iCOD)
The Instant Capacity On Demand (iCOD) program provides access to additional CPU resources beyond the
amount that was purchased for the server. This provides the ability to activate additional CPU power for
unexpected growth and unexpected spikes in workloads.
Internally, iCOD systems physically have more CPUs, called iCOD CPUs, than the number of CPUs actually
purchased. These iCOD CPUs reside in the purchased system, but they belong to HP and therefore are HP
assets. A nominal “Right-To-Access Fee” is paid to HP for each iCOD processor in the system. At any time,
any number of iCOD CPUs can be “activated.” Activating an iCOD CPU automatically and instantaneously
transforms the iCOD CPU into an instantly ordered and fulfilled CPU upgrade that requires payment. After
the iCOD CPU is activated and paid for, it is no longer an iCOD CPU, but is now an ordered and delivered
CPU upgrade for the system.
The most current information on installing, configuring, and troubleshooting iCOD can be found at
