If you have access to IBM Redbooks, you can look for things like the IBM z15
(8561) Technical Guide or IBM z15 (8562) Technical Guide to get information
about what I/O features can the carried over from one model to the next.
There are similar manuals for the z16-A01 and z16-A02.
But like Ed has mentioned depending on the feature code the card(s) may not
work.

Most cards work, some cards don't.
We put a bunch of cards from our decommissioned z13s into
our z15-T02 -- skipping past the z14 generation entirely.
Doing so was far, Far, FAR cheaper than buying them "net
new..."
