IBM 9105 22B S1022s pSeries Power10 Servers

The IBM Power S1022s (9105-22B) is a compact, entry-level 2U rack-mounted scale-out server powered by IBM Power10 processors. This one- or two-socket system provides high performance, energy efficiency, and advanced security for business-critical workloads on AIX, IBM i (virtualized), and Linux. It features up to 16 cores, 2 TB DDR4 memory, NVMe storage, Gen5 PCIe connectivity, transparent memory encryption, in-core AI acceleration via Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA), and PowerVM virtualization. Designed for small to medium enterprises, it supports hybrid cloud, secure operations, and consolidated environments with excellent price-performance.

Key Features

• One or two Power10 processor sockets for up to 16 cores and 128 threads.
• Transparent memory encryption with zero performance impact.
• In-core AI inferencing and machine learning acceleration with MMA.
• Up to 8 x U.2 NVMe bays for high-speed internal storage; expansion drawer support.
• PCIe Gen5/Gen4 slots (concurrently maintainable) for high-bandwidth adapters.
• PowerVM Enterprise Edition for virtualization and hybrid cloud agility.
• Redundant hot-swap power supplies and fans for high availability.
• Capacity Upgrade on Demand for cores and optional features.
• Supports IBM i partitions (max 4 cores each, requires VIOS), AIX, Linux (including Red Hat OpenShift).

Technical Specifications

• Form Factor: 2U rack-mounted (19-inch rack).
• Processors: Entry single-chip Power10 modules (same model required if dual-socket):
  • EPGR: 4-core 3.0–3.90 GHz (scalable activations; single or dual for up to 8 cores).
  • EPGQ: 8-core 3.0–3.90 GHz (scalable; dual for up to 16 cores).
• Cores: Up to 16 activated cores total (dual-socket required for higher configs; IBM i requires dual-socket for 4-core module support).
• Memory: Up to 2 TB DDR4 (16 DDIMM slots; 8 usable with one socket); DDR5 support in some updates (higher bandwidth).
• Storage: Up to 8 x U.2 NVMe bays (max ~51.2 TB internal flash); optional SAS/NVMe expansion drawers.
• PCIe Slots: Multiple Gen5/Gen4 slots (configuration-dependent).
• Connectivity: Onboard options; optional Ethernet (10/25/100 Gb), Fibre Channel (32/64 Gb), SAS.
• Power/Cooling: Redundant hot-swap supplies; efficient design.
• Other: Supports Capacity on Demand; Light Path diagnostics.

Available Configurations

Common processor-based examples (often refurbished/used; specific configs may include preloaded OS like IBM i 7.6 and 3-Year Expert Care):

• IBM 9105-22B S1022s with EPGR 4-Core Processor: Scalable to 8 cores (dual-socket).
• IBM 9105-22B S1022s with EPGQ 8-Core Processor: Scalable to 16 cores.
• Typical example: 8-core 3.0–3.9 GHz, 64 GB DDR4/DDR5, 3.2 TB Enterprise NVMe, IBM i 7.6, PowerVM, 3-Year Advanced Expert Care.

Memory, storage, and I/O adapters configured via IBM feature codes at order time. Supports core activations and Capacity on Demand upgrades.

Compatibility

• Operating Systems: IBM i (virtualized LPARs max 4 cores each, requires VIOS; dual-socket required for 4-core module), AIX, Linux (including Red Hat OpenShift).
• Virtualization: PowerVM Enterprise Edition; supports multiple IBM i partitions alongside AIX/Linux.
• Expansion: PCIe I/O drawers; SAS/NVMe expansion drawers for additional storage/slots.
• Environments: Suited for small/medium enterprises, core applications, branch offices, hybrid cloud; integrates with Power Private Cloud models.
• Security: Transparent memory encryption, hardware-accelerated features, quantum-safe readiness.
• No intermixing with incompatible older generations.
