Product Description
IBM 9406 Model 800 with 2463 Processor p05
The IBM 9406 Model 800 with 2463 Processor (P05 configuration) is a compact, entry-level server from the AS/400 iSeries family, powered by the POWER5 processor. This 1U rack or tower unit was designed for small to medium businesses running IBM i (OS/400) applications, providing reliable performance for file serving, databases, ERP, and traditional green-screen workloads.
Featuring a single POWER5 processor (P05 rating), up to 32 GB of memory, integrated storage controllers with RAID support, and embedded networking, the Model 800 offers a cost-effective platform for legacy IBM i environments. It supports OS/400 V5R3 through IBM i 6.1 (with appropriate PTFs and firmware), maintaining compatibility with RPG/COBOL applications, DB2 for i, and classic AS/400 software.
The server includes excellent RAS features such as hot-plug disk bays (in select configurations), redundant power options, and system-level mirroring. It is suitable for dedicated IBM i partitions, branch offices, or as a secondary system in larger Power environments requiring IBM i compatibility.
The IBM 9406 Model 800 with 2463 Processor P05 is backed by a 60-day warranty, providing assurance in its quality and operation for legacy use.
