  • B. Consolidate FICON links using Optica’s Prizm protocol converter.
  • C. Order a pre-configured PCIe I/O drawer with built-in FICON cabling from the IBM Facilities Cabling Services.

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Under IBM Facilities Cabling Services there is the option to provide IBM Fiber Transport System (FTS) trunking commodities (fiber optic trunk cables, fiber harnesses, panel-mount boxes) for connecting to other z13s, Rockhopper, z13, Emperor, zBC12, zEC12, z114, z196, z10 BC, z10 EC, z9 BC, z9 EC, z890, and z990 servers. IBM can reduce the cable clutter and cable bulk under the floor. An analysis of the channel configuration and any existing fiber optic cabling is performed to determine the required FTS trunking commodities. IBM can also help organize the entire enterprise. This option includes enterprise planning, new cables, fiber optic trunking commodities, installation, and documentation.
