    • IBM 8286 41A S814 iSeries Power 8 Servers

    IBM 8286-41A S814 Power8 System

    The IBM Power S814 (8286-41A) is a versatile 4U rack-mount or tower-convertible server from the POWER8 family, optimized for IBM i workloads in small to medium business environments. This single-socket system supports 4-core, 6-core, or 8-core POWER8 processor configurations (feature codes EPX0, EPX5, EPX6 typical), delivering strong CPW performance for reliable enterprise applications, light virtualization, and departmental tasks. It includes 64 GB DDR3 memory (scalable up to 1 TB), 1.2 TB SAS HDD (e.g., 4 × 283 GB 15K RPM SFF-3 drives) with RAID support, a 2-port 10/1 GbE BaseT RJ45 Ethernet adapter, DVD-RAM drive, and all necessary components for rack or tower deployment. The server runs natively on IBM i (no VIOS required in lower-tier configs), supports PowerVM virtualization (limited by tier), and is ideal for cost-effective IBM i hosting or mixed AIX/Linux workloads.

    Key Features

    • Processor: 4/6/8-core POWER8 (single socket; EPX0 / EPX5 / EPX6 typical at 4.0–4.15 GHz).
    • Performance: Approximately 38,000–85,000 CPW (P10 tier; interactive capacity varies by config and core count).
    • Memory: 64 GB DDR3 base (scalable to 1 TB with 16 DIMM slots).
    • Storage: 1.2 TB (4 × 300 GB 15K RPM SAS SFF-3) with RAID-5/6/10 support.
    • Connectivity: 2-port 10/1 GbE BaseT RJ45 Ethernet adapter.
    • Media: DVD-RAM drive included.
    • Form Factor: 4U rack-mount (convertible to tower with optional kit).
    • Software: Native IBM i support (7.1–7.4); PowerVM virtualization available.
    • Reliability: Redundant hot-swap power/cooling options, EnergyScale efficiency.

    Compatibilities

    The IBM Power S814 8286-41A is compatible with:

    • IBM i operating system (7.1–7.4; native execution).
    • PowerVM for virtualization (limited in lower tiers).
    • IBM Power Systems storage and peripherals via SAS/SFF-3 bays and PCIe Gen3.
    • Ethernet networks and standard adapters for connectivity.
    • Backward compatibility with IBM i applications and data from prior Power generations.
    • Enterprise workloads in small to medium setups, with support for data-intensive tasks on AIX/Linux as well.

    Depend on this versatile POWER8 server for efficient, scalable IBM i performance in rack or tower environments with proven enterprise reliability.
