The 8247-22L is IBM's Power System S822L, a two-socket POWER8 server for Linux in a 2U, 19-inch rack package. IBM's technical overview (Redpaper REDP-5098) lists three processor options, two modules per server with all cores activated: 8-core 4.15 GHz (#ELPF), 10-core 3.42 GHz (#ELPD) and 12-core 3.02 GHz (#ELP4), for 16, 20 or 24 cores. Memory reaches 1024 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 ECC using 16 GB (#EL3P), 32 GB (#EL3Q) or 64 GB (#EL3R) features, and the server has up to nine hot-plug PCIe Gen3 low-profile slots.
Internal drives use SFF-3 bays. Backplane #EL3T has 12 bays and a DVD bay and can be split with feature EL3V; backplane #EL3U has 8 bays, dual IOA with write cache and Easy Tier, and on the S822L it requires the #EL0H cage with six 1.8-inch SSD bays. Up to 14 EXP24S SFF Gen2-bay drawers attach for more drives. IBM names Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu as the supported Linux distributions.
IBM's lifecycle page gives general availability on June 10, 2014, withdrawal from marketing on February 28, 2019 and end of support on March 31, 2024, with 9008-22L as the recommended replacement. To confirm a match, read machine type-model 8247-22L on the system label. IBM's Power S824L is the 8247-42L, and other POWER servers are on the IBM / Lenovo servers hub.
