Each IBM S1012 processor core has private access to 2 MB L2 cache and local access to 8 MB of L3 cache capacity. All IBM S1012 processor models 9028-21B supports externally attached Fibre Channel or Ethernet connected SAN, support attaching an RDX storage device via two USB 3.0 ports, but do not support any SAS or NVMe storage drawers. The 9028-21B EPGZ 8-core Processor is the only IBM S1012 that supports the maximum memory and internal storage. The 9028-21B EPG7 4-Core processor is the only IBM S1012 that can be purchased both as a tower or a 2U, half-wide chasis. The 9028-21B EPG3 1 Core Processor is the only IBM S1012 that can only be purchased as a Tower, has a 20 user maximum and requires IBM i AS400 OS400. The 9028-21B EPGZ 8 Core Processor is the only IBM S1012 that can only be purchased as 2U, half-wide chasis for rack.
