IBM documentation says:
"Feature code 9106 Notifies the manufacturing plant that an IBM 3494 frame is 
to be attached to a RS/6000 host processor. It is used for documentation."

I'm guessing that it's guidance for factory personnel to include installation 
information sheets for CEs which picture and talk about RS/6000 processors 
rather than a mainframe or HP or Sun (each having their own FC 9xxx number).
