    Mainframe computers are the backbone of industrial and commercial computing, hosting the most relevant and critical data of businesses. One of the most important mainframe environments is IBM System z with the operating system z/OS. This book introduces mainframe technology of System z and z/OS with respect to high availability and scalability. It highlights their presence on different levels within the hardware and software stack to satisfy the needs for large IT organizations

    IBM eServer z990 central electronic complex The z990 eServer � central electronic complex (CEC) houses four multichip-module-based processor units instead of one, as in the previous-generation z900 eServer. The multichip module (MCM) input/output pin density in z990 processor units is more than twice that of the MCMs in z900 processor units. This increase in packaging density and the consequent tripling of the current drawn by the processor units were accommodated by the first-time use of land grid array (LGA) MCM-to-board interconnections in an IBM zSeries � eServer. This was done by using innovative refrigeration cooling of the MCM with air cooling as backup, and by a new mechanical packaging and power distribution scheme. This paper describes the mechanical engineering of the CEC cage, the LGA MCMto-board interconnection scheme, and the mechanical isolation of the MCM evaporator–heat-sink mass from the LGA contacts. The paper also describes the electrical power and the cooling solutions implemented to meet the more demanding requirements of the denser CEC package
