IBM i Power9 S914 9009-41A EP11 6-Core 3.8 GHz Processor

Memory: 16-1024 GB
CPW: 13,083-78,500
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 EP11 6-core processor can have up to 78,500 CPW with all processors active (13,083 CPW per core). The 9009-41A 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 9009-41A EP11 6-Core and 8-Core systems have two Gen4 and six Gen3 slots (one slot is allocated to a 4-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter).

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 IBM i response times and throughput. All Power9 system models support 220V power, and the 9009-41A S914 model 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).
