    • IBM 8231 E1D 710 iSeries Power 7+ Servers

    IBM 8231 E1D 710 iSeries Power7 System

    The IBM 8231-E1D (Power 710 Express) is a compact 2U rack-mounted server powered by POWER7+ processors, designed for small to midsized businesses running IBM i workloads. It provides reliable performance, security, and scalability for core business applications in a single, integrated system. This model simplifies IT management, boosts productivity, and enhances data protection while supporting IBM i, AIX, and Linux with PowerVM virtualization for efficient partitioning and resource utilization.

    Key Features

    • POWER7+ processor technology for improved performance and energy efficiency over POWER7.
    • Single-socket design with scalable core activation for flexible capacity.
    • Large memory support with DDR3 DIMMs and Active Memory Expansion (AME) for workload optimization.
    • Integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID support (0, 1, 10; optional RAID 5/6 with write cache).
    • Hot-swap storage bays and PCIe Gen2 slots for easy upgrades and maintenance.
    • Supports virtualized IBM i partitions (max 4 cores each) alongside AIX/Linux workloads.
    • Built-in IBM i integration for simplified administration and strong security.
    • Capacity Upgrade on Demand for cores and optional features.

    Technical Specifications

    • Form Factor: 2U rack-mounted (19-inch rack).
    • Processors: POWER7+ single-socket modules:
      • EPCE: 4-core 3.6 GHz (scalable to higher activations if supported).
      • Other POWER7+ options (e.g., 6-core 4.2 GHz, 8-core 3.6/4.2 GHz in family) may apply via upgrades.
    • Cores: Up to 8 activated cores (single socket).
    • Memory: 8 GB minimum, up to 256 GB maximum DDR3 RDIMM (8 DIMM slots; supports 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB modules at 1066 MHz; Active Memory Expansion available).
    • Storage: Up to 6 x 2.5-inch SFF SAS/SATA HDD/SSD bays (max internal capacity varies; external expansion supported).
    • PCIe Slots: Multiple Gen2 PCIe slots for adapters (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, etc.).
    • Connectivity: Integrated SAS controller; optional high-performance adapters.
    • Power/Cooling: Redundant hot-swap power supplies and fans.
    • RAID: Integrated RAID 0/1/10; optional RAID 5/6 with cache.
    • Other: Light Path diagnostics; PowerVM support.

    Compatibility

    • Operating Systems: IBM i (virtualized LPARs max 4 cores each, may require VIOS for multi-partition), AIX, Linux.
    • Virtualization: PowerVM Enterprise Edition; supports multiple partitions for IBM i alongside AIX/Linux.
    • Expansion: External I/O and disk drawers for additional slots/storage.
    • Environments: Suited for small/midsized businesses, core applications, and integrated systems.
    • Security: Built-in IBM i data protection and compliance features.
    • Legacy POWER7+ system; no intermixing with incompatible newer generations.

    This system comes with a 60-day warranty from Data Tech Computer.
