The 8233-E8B is the IBM Power 750 Express, a 4U POWER7 rack server that takes up to four processor cards: 6-core at 3.3 GHz, or 8-core at 3.0, 3.3 or 3.55 GHz. A POWER7 module has 4 MB of L3 cache per core and 256 KB of L2 cache per core, so the largest configuration is 32 cores.
Memory is DDR3 at 1066 MHz in 32 DIMM slots, eight per processor card. Features come as pairs of 8, 16 or 32 GB DIMMs, and a system with four processor cards reaches 512 GB. The system unit holds eight small-form-factor SAS disks or SAS solid-state drives, up to 2.4 TB, in two sets of four bays for split AIX or Linux configurations. All are direct-dock and hot-pluggable. A slimline DVD-RAM and a half-high media bay for tape or removable disk complete the front, and quad-gigabit or dual-10 Gb integrated Ethernet is chosen at order.
With 12X-attached I/O drawers the system can serve up to 50 PCI-X slots or 41 PCIe slots and up to 576 disk drives. Two 1725 W AC power supplies (feature 7740) are required, the second giving redundancy, and the two should go to separate PDUs. The chassis measures 440 x 730 x 173 mm and weighs 48.7 kg. It runs at 5 to 35 degrees C, 200 to 240 V AC and up to 1,950 W.
