Yes, we have many 2104s with this configuration, IBM is very confused about
this due to some older documentation that states this is not a valid config.
But this was incorrect.

Look at page 49 of the 2104 Installation guide (GA33-3311-01), and you will
see your configuration.

Contact me directly, if you need more info.
