Software model MSU values
All software models have an MSU value that is used the determine the software license
charge for all MLC software. Table 2-8 on page 66 shows all MSU values for all software
models.
The Mainframe Charter, announced in August 2003, offers lower software charges for
selected IBM software on z990. This price/performance improvement is achieved by lowering
the original established MSU value for each software model by approximately 10%, resulting
in a list of software MSU values (Pricing MSUs) to be used for software charging.

Hardware Management Console and Support Elements
All z990 models include a Hardware Management Console (HMC) and two internal Support
Elements (SEs) that are located in the Z frame.
On z990 servers, the Hardware Management Console provides the platform and user
interface that can control and monitor the status of the system. The SEs are basically used by
IBM service representatives.
Up to four Hardware Management Consoles can be ordered per z990 server, providing more
flexibility and additional points of control. The Hardware Management Console can also
provide a single point of control and single system image for a number of CPCs configured to
it.
The internal SEs for each CPC are attached by local area network (LAN) to the Hardware
Management Console, and allow the Hardware Management Console to monitor the CPC by
providing status information. Each internal SE provides the Hardware Management Console
