Power Scale-out Systems supporting AIX, IBM i or Linux
1. IBM Manufacturing requires one x8 PCIe slot must contain an Ethernet LAN adapter. Adapter is available for client use
2. Use of expanded function storage backplane uses one PCIe slot in 2U servers and optionally uses a PCIe slot in 4U servers
3. Backplane provides dual high performance SAS controllers with 1.8GB write cache expanded up to 7.2 GB with compression plus Easy Tier capability plus two
SAS ports for running an EXP24S drawer. SAS ports are optional on a 4U server.
4. 1-core Power S812 max capacity drive is 571 GB. 4-core Power S814 maximum capacity disk drive is 600GB.
5. Warranty and base service level are USA definitions and may vary in other countries
6. When no GPU installed
7. Number shown is the client usable slots after deducting the optical cable adapters required in CEC to connect the maximum number of PCIe I/O Drawers
8. Not available in PowerKVM environment
9. Not available in OPAL Bare-metal environment
10. See other documentation for more specifics. For example: SLES 11 or 12, REHL 6.6, Ubuntu 14.04, etc.
* Or later. See more detailed server specific information as TR or TL prerequisites
