For ordering, contact your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or IBM Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: YE001). Overview The new IBM Power S824 server is designed to put data to work. With a strong commitment to optimizing AIX® and IBM i workloads, these new systems deliver improved performance compared to the prior generation of systems and additionally TM offer unmatched price/performance value for integrated Linux applications.
Key prerequisites • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, or later • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3, or later • AIX 6.1, 7.1, or later • IBM i 7.1, 7.2, or later Refer to the Hardware requirements section and Software requirements section for details.
– Service processor – EnergyScale technology – Hot-swap and redundant cooling – Four USB 3.0 ports for general use – Two USB 2.0 ports for non-general use – Two HMC 1GbE RJ45 ports – One system port with RJ45 connector • Four hot plug, redundant power supplies • 19-inch rack-mount hardware (4U) 1 2 One fewer PCIe slot is available with the dual IOA storage backplane feature EJ0U. One x8 PCIe slot is used for integrated LAN adapter.
For example, if you have a 12-core Power 740 as your primary system with six IBM i processor license entitlements (five above the minimum) and two 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlements (one above the minimum), you can temporarily transfer up to five IBM i entitlements and one 5250 Enterprise Enablement entitlement.
Notes : • The racking approach for the initial order must be either a 7014-T00, 7014-T42, or 7953-94Y. • If an additional rack is required for I/O expansion drawers as an MES to an existing system, either a feature 0551, 0553, or ER05 rack must be ordered. • No internal HDD or SSD is required if feature 0837 (Boot from SAN) is selected. A Fibre Channel adapter must be ordered if feature 0837 is selected. • Feature EJ0N is required to be combined with feature EJ0S.
– Two 6-core, 3.89 GHz processors (#EPXE) require that twelve processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of twelve processor activation code feature EPYE is required. – One 8-core, 4.15 GHz processor (#EPXF) requires that eight processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of eight processor activation code feature EPYE is required. – Two 8-core, 4.15 GHz processors (#EPXF) require that sixteen processor activation codes be ordered.
Four other PCIe slots are physically present, but are not available for use until a second processor DCM is installed. The x16 slots can provide up to twice the bandwidth of x8 slots because they offer twice as many PCIe lanes. PCIe Gen 3 slots can support up to twice the bandwidth of a PCIe Gen 2 slot and up to four times the bandwidth of a PCIe Gen 1 slot, assuming an equivalent number of PCIe lanes.
of integrated SAS controllers, each with 1.8 GB physical (effectively up to 7.2 GB with compression) write cache; a DVD bay; two SAS ports enabled for attaching an external feature 5887 EXP24S Disk Drawer; an eight-bay, 1.8-inch SSD Cage; and Easy Tier functionality. The SAS ports are indicated by the EJ0Z feature and must be ordered with feature EJ0P. The SAS ports are physically mounted on the rear of the server and use up one PCIe x8 slot.
Storage Backplane Integrated Easy Tier function The Easy Tier function is provided with the dual IOA, high-performance storage backplane (#EJ0P). Conceptually, this function is like the Easy Tier function found in the IBM Storage products such as the DS8000®, Storwize® V7000, or SVC, but implemented just within the integrated Power Systems SAS controllers, the integrated SAS bays, and, optionally, an EXP24S I/O drawer.
The older 3.5-inch-based feature 5886 EXP12S SAS Disk Drawer and feature 5786 EXP24 SCSI Disk Drawer are not supported. IBM offers a 1U multimedia drawer that can hold one or more DVDs, tape drive, or RDX docking stations. The 7226-1U3 is the most current offering. The earlier 7216-1U2 and 7214-1U2 are also supported. Up to six of these multimedia drawers can be attached. Cable management arm A folding arm is attached to the server's rails at the rear of the server.
subsystems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help ensure the highest level of product quality. Memory subsystem RAS The memory has error detection and correction circuitry designed such that the failure of any one specific memory module within an ECC word by itself can be corrected absent any other fault.
Partition availability priority Also available is the ability to assign availability priorities to partitions. In the PowerVM environment if an alternate processor recovery event requires spare processor resources in order to protect a workload, when no other means of obtaining the spare resources is available, the system will determine which partition has the lowest priority and attempt to claim the needed resource.
Serviceability The purpose of serviceability is to efficiently repair the system while attempting to minimize or eliminate impact to system operation. Serviceability includes system installation, MES (system upgrades/downgrades), and system maintenance/repair. Depending upon the system and warranty contract, service may be performed by the customer, an IBM representative, or an authorized warranty service provider.
• Operating system service menu • Service Focal Point on the HMC with PowerVM • Service Focal Point Lite on IVM with PowerVM In the light path LED implementation, the system can clearly identify components for replacement by using specific component-level LEDs, and can also guide the servicer directly to the component by signaling (turning on solid) the amber system fault LED, enclosure fault LED, and component FRU fault LED. The servicer can also use the identify function to blink the FRU-level LED.
Service labels Service providers use these labels to assist them in performing maintenance actions. Service labels are found in various formats and positions and are intended to transmit readily available information to the servicer during the repair process. Following are some of these service labels and their purpose: • Location diagrams: Location diagrams are located on the system hardware, relating information regarding the placement of hardware components.
In the HMC managed environment, a call home service request will be initiated and the pertinent failure data with service parts information and part locations will be sent to an IBM service organization. Customer contact information and specific system-related data such as the machine type, model, and serial number, along with error log data related to the failure, are sent to IBM Service.
