z15 may I/O drawer requirement

Description:
The Next Generation System will be released as a next banking system.
Currently, we have two identical system environments, one of which is used and switched, so we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
These two environments exist in the same enclosure (3 casings in total), and each environment guarantees the redundancy of I / O with the Hyperswap function of GDPS.
Due to the large amount of customer's data, FICON Express occupies the I / O drawer of z13 currently in use, and the limitation of future expandability is coming.
For this reason, there is a demand for an I / O drawer that can be expanded in order to ensure expandability while maintaining the current system configuration.
