IBM and IBM product matrix

The product matrix provides a cross-reference between the comparable IBM® and IBM product models.

When you use any of the IBM documents, such as the Fabric Configuration Guide, you will notice that the model numbers reflect the corresponding IBM products. Table 1 provides a product matrix to correlate the IBM products and models to the IBM product names and machine types and model numbers. Products withdrawn from marketing are not listed.
