Product Description
IBM 9408 M25 Power6 4.2 GHz 4,300 CPW V5R4
The IBM 9408-M25 is a mid-range server from the AS/400 iSeries family, powered by a 4.2 GHz POWER6 processor with a 4.300 CPW (Commercial Processing Workload) rating. This rack/tower system was designed for medium-sized businesses running IBM i (OS/400 V5R4) applications, providing solid performance for ERP, databases, file serving, web hosting, and traditional green-screen workloads.
Featuring a single POWER6 processor, support for up to 64 GB of memory, integrated storage controllers with RAID 5/6/10, and embedded networking, the 9408-M25 delivers reliable, scalable performance for legacy IBM i environments. It is fully certified for OS/400 V5R4 (and earlier versions with appropriate PTFs), maintaining compatibility with RPG/COBOL applications, DB2 for i, and classic AS/400 software stacks.
The server includes excellent RAS features such as hot-plug disk bays, redundant power options, and system-level mirroring. It is suitable for production IBM i partitions, branch offices, or consolidation in larger Power environments requiring IBM i capability.
The IBM 9408-M25 4.2 GHz 4.300 CPW V5R4 is backed by a 60-day warranty, providing assurance in its quality and operation for legacy use.
