Processor & Memory Configurations

The 9119-MHE scales non-disruptively by adding 5U system nodes to the central System Control Unit (SCU).

4.35 GHz POWER8: 32-core feature (#EPBB) per node, scaling to 192 cores max.
4.19 GHz POWER8: 32-core feature (#EPBC) per node, scaling to 192 cores max.
4.02 GHz POWER8: 40-core feature (#EPBA) per node, scaling to 160 cores max.
Cache Architecture: 512 KB L2 cache per core, 8 MB L3 cache per core, and up to 16 MB L4 cache per memory buffer chip.

Custom DIMMs (CDIMMs): Employs enterprise buffered CDIMMs integrated with L4 cache chips for error resilience and high throughput.
Capacity Options: Supports 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB CDIMMs.
Active Memory Mirroring: Optional protection for the Hypervisor to eliminate single points of memory failure.

Native Slots: Each 5U System Node contains 8 low-profile PCIe Gen3 x16 slots.
PCIe Expansion Drawers: Connects up to 8x EXP24S / PCIe Gen3 I/O Expansion Drawers per node to expand adapter capacity.
CAPI Support: Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) enables low-latency FPGA acceleration and high-speed flash storage integration directly over PCIe slots.

IBM AIX: AIX 6.1, AIX 7.1, AIX 7.2 (or later)
IBM i: IBM i 7.1 (with Tech Refresh), IBM i 7.2, IBM i 7.3 (or later)
Linux for Power:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 7.1+ / RHEL 8+)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES 11 SP3+ / SLES 12+)
- Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (or later)

Redundant Hardware: Hot-swappable redundant power supplies, cooling fans, and redundant System Control Unit (SCU) clocks.
Dynamic LPAR & LPM: Live Partition Mobility allows running virtual machines to move non-disruptively between physical servers.
Capacity on Demand (CoD): Enables elastic processor and memory activation for peak workloads without physical hardware changes.
