IBM 4770 Product Support
The IBM 4770 is available on IBM Z® mainframes running either z/OS® or Linux® on IBM Z® operating systems as:
- IBM Z® mainframes (z16®) as FC 0851 (CEX8S).
- IBM Z® mainframes (z17®) as FC 0908 (two CEX8S per feature) or FC 0909 (one CEX8S per feature).
Note: The FC 0851, FC 0908, and FC 0909 requires FC 3863 - CPACF Enablement (Central Processor
Assist for Cryptographic Functions). CPACF is a set of cryptographic instructions providing improved
performance through hardware acceleration. Using the cryptographic hardware, you gain security from
using the CPACF and the Crypto feature through in-kernel cryptography APIs and, for Linux® on z
Systems®, the libica cryptographic functions library.
