9009-41G Datasheet  |  9009-41G and 42G Performance Benchmarks

The 9009-41G is a single socket, 4U system that can be configured with 4, 6 and 8-cores that all have a 2.3 to 3.8 GHz chip speed range. The 6 and 8-core processors support up to 1TB of memory via 16 DDR4 DIMM slots. The amount of internal and external SSD and disk drive space is determined by various configuration factors. The IBM Power9 9009-41G EP51 6-Core and EP52 8-Core systems are powered entirely by a Gen4 PCIe architecture (slots, switches and lanes), supporting up to 14 NVMe devices, designed for mission critical applications and I/O intensive workloads. All Power9 system models support PCIe Gen 4 and earlier PCIe generation feature cards.

The new Power9 RAID Controllers and other SAS adapters provide significant I/O performance gains that should be considered for improving response times and throughput. All Power9 system models support 220V power, and the 9009-41G and 9009-41A S914 models can also run on 110V. All Power9 models have three backplane options, a 12 SFF-3 Bays, a 18 SFF-3 bays with write cache or a 12 SFF-3 bays with dual IOA and write cache. IBM i workloads require 4k byte block hard disk drives or SSD. If you need to boot more than one Virtual IO server from internal disks, your Power9 system needs to the split backplane feature and a minimum of four disks (two per Virtual IO Server). Every IBM i Power9 model support adding 28 EXP24SX I/O expansion drawer and the IBM EMX0 PCIe I/O expansion drawer (28 is the maximum combined quantity).
