On SUs x86 (X86-64 architecture) the bus and Fibre Channel peripherals are configured by the carrier system X2000, and the configuration is determined dynamically at startup. The SU x86 does not require hardware generation with IOGEN.

Automatic IPL and time-controlled startup/shutdown
On SUs x86 systems support (using the SE Manager) can configure an automatic IPL, a time-controlled startup or shutdown under X2000. In the event of a system shutdown via X2000 the system parameter SHUTPROC determines whether the shutdown should take place immediately or using an enter job.
If automatic IPL was set, then an IPL is automatically initiated from the default IPL disk after the X2000 system has started up.
