You are right.. maybe Redbook needs an update. anyways on IBM Power E1080 Datasheet correctly mentions up to Four PCIe I/O expansion drawers on a single node system without mentioning the PCI-Gen.

its mentioned in the IBM Power E1080 Systems Redbook "You can connect up to four I/O expansion drawer features ENZ0 per node"
https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp5649.pdf
but right after system announcement earlier, in e-config we were able to only add 3x ENZO and needed RPQ to add the fourth IO enclosure ENZ0. i don't think we need RPQ anymore for fourth ENZ0.

In eConfig, sales can add 4 ENZ0 into 1 CEC E1080, but from Redbook only support 3 ENZ0, why ?
