The 8247-42L is the IBM Power System S824L, a 4U POWER8 server for Linux. It comes with one or two POWER8 dual chip modules offering 8, 16, 20 or 24 fully activated cores at 4.15, 3.52, 3.42 or 3.02 GHz. A GPU-equipped system is always two-socket; without a GPU the server is available with one or two sockets.
The S824L was first built around NVIDIA GPUs, and from April 2015 a GPU became optional. A system ordered without a GPU cannot have one added later. A GPU configuration takes at least one NVIDIA GPU and at most two, and uses Ubuntu as its Linux; the non-GPU server supports Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu.
There are 16 DDR3 CDIMM slots; memory features of 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB run at 1600 MHz to a maximum of 2 TB. The storage backplane has twelve SFF-3 bays for hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS drives, plus a DVD bay, for up to 14.4 TB raw. PCI Express Gen3 slots are hot swap: seven with one processor module (two x16, five x8) and eleven with two (four x16, seven x8).
The chassis is 443 mm wide, 755 mm deep and 173 mm high, weighing 43.8 kg in its maximum configuration. Related models are the 8247-22L and the 8286-42A (S824), with more Power parts in the server parts section.
