HP Instant Capacity is based on the concept of hardware usage rights. Active hardware implicitly includes usage rights, whereas HP
Instant Capacity Hardware does not. Without usage rights, the Instant Capacity Software will not allow the operating system to use
the hardware. The usage rights for HP Instant Capacity Hardware are purchased separately and called the "Right to Use" or "RTU".

NOTE: All Instant Capacity Right to Use products must have either Option 02A or Option 0D1 selected. Select Option 02A when
activating a component at the Customer's site, and select Option 0D1 to activate a component in the HP Factory. The quantity of the
selected option must equal the quantity of the usage right ordered.

The product structure of Instant Capacity Hardware is identical to the equivalent active hardware. For example, if an active
processor module contains a single dual-core processor, the Instant Capacity product will also contain a single dual-core processor.

Every Instant Capacity product has an associated Right to Use product which is the usage rights for that specific component. The
Right to Use for an 8GB memory module for an rx8640 is a different product than the Right to Use for an 8GB memory module for
an sx2000 Superdome. The number of usage rights needed to activate a component depends on the type of component. A cell
board or a memory module each will require one Right to Use, but a dual-core Instant Capacity processor will require two (2) usage
rights, one for each core on the module.

NOTE: The Right to Use products for all HP Instant Capacity processors activate a single unit only, where a unit is defined as a

Moving Usage Rights
Usage rights are not tied to specific hardware components within an Instant Capacity system, and can in fact be transferred between
identical hardware components. Deactivating a component results in the usage right for that component being released and made
available for use by another component. The available usage right can then be used to activate an Instant Capacity component in
another partition within the same complex. This powerful feature of the HP Instant Capacity Software allows Customers to move
resources between partitions within a complex. Usage rights can also be transferred in this manner between servers using a new
feature called Global Instant Capacity, described later.

A new feature included with HP Instant Capacity Software version 8.x or later allows Customers to deactivate active hardware. This
means that a fully owned system, including one without any Instant Capacity components, can leverage the benefits of moving usage
rights with Instant Capacity Software or test Instant Capacity functionality.

HP Instant Capacity Software tracks the total number of expected inactive components in a protected location in firmware called the
system inventory. The Instant Capacity Software ensures that the number of inactive components in the complex is always equal to
(or greater than) the number of expected number of inactive components that is recorded in the system inventory.

In the image below, an rx7640 has been configured with 12 active processor cores and 4 Instant Capacity processor cores,
distributed over two partitions. The system inventory in this system would indicate that at least 4 processor cores are expected to be
distributed over two partitions. The system inventory in this system would indicate that at least 4 processor cores are expected to be
