IBM S914 9009-41A EP12 8-Core Power9 Processor System 15313-122500 CPW

Memory: 16-1024 GB
CPW: 15,313-122,500
IBM i Software Tier: P10
AIX rPerf: SMT8 = 183.2, SMT4 = 145.4, SMT = 105.4, ST = 62
Supported Operating Systems: IBM i OS400, AIX, Linux Server Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu

The IBM i S914 9009-41A Power9 system with EP12 8-core processor can have up to 122,500 CPW (15,313 CPW per active processor), and has a 2.3 to 3.8 GHz chip speed. The Power9 S914 9009-41A model is a single socket system that can be configured with 4, 6 and 8-cores, and support up to 1TB of memory via 16 DDR4 DIMM slots. The 9009-41A EP12 8-Core system has two Gen4 and six Gen3 slots (one slot is allocated to a 4-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter). The maximum internal and external SSD and disk drive space is determined by various configuration factors.

All Power9 S914 system models support PCIe Gen 4 and earlier PCIe generation feature cards. IBM Power9 RAID Controllers and other SAS adapters provide significant I/O performance gains compared to previous generation, and should be considered for improving IBM i response times and throughput. The 9009-41A S914 can run on 110V, and all Power9 system models support 220V power. All Power9 systems 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 IBM EXP24SX I/O expansion drawers and the IBM EMX0 PCIe expansion drawers (28 is the maximum combined quantity).
