    • IBM 9009 42A S924 iSeries Power 9 Servers

    IBM 9009 42A S924 iSeries Power 9 Systems

    The IBM Power S924 (9009-42A) is a high-performance 4U rack-mount server from the POWER9 family, optimized for demanding IBM i workloads in medium to large business environments. It supports dual POWER9 processor sockets with scalable core activations (e.g., EP1E 8/16-core, EP1F 10/20-core, EP1G 12/24-core), delivering exceptional CPW capacity for enterprise applications. A typical configuration includes 64 GB DDR4 memory, 1.698 TB 15K RPM SAS DASD storage, a 4-port 1 Gbps Ethernet adapter, and required entitlements for IBM i operation. The server runs natively on IBM i, providing robust scalability, I/O flexibility, and high availability for mission-critical tasks.

    Key Features

    • Processor: Dual-socket POWER9 options (EP1E 8/16-core at 3.8–4.0 GHz, EP1F 10/20-core at 3.5–3.9 GHz, EP1G 12/24-core at 3.4–3.9 GHz).
    • Performance: Up to ~370,700 CPW (e.g., dual 24-core EP1G in P20 tier) for high-throughput IBM i workloads.
    • Memory: 64 GB DDR4 base (scalable up to 4 TB with 32 DIMM slots at 2133–2666 MHz).
    • Storage: 1.698 TB 15K RPM SAS DASD (high-speed rotational storage).
    • Connectivity: 4-port 1 Gbps Ethernet adapter.
    • Form Factor: 4U rack-mount (19-inch EIA drawer).
    • Software: Native IBM i support (V7R1 or later; includes processor entitlement and 5250 Enterprise Enablement options).
    • Reliability: Enterprise-class with redundant cooling/power, EnergyScale, and PCIe Gen3/Gen4 expansion.
