IBM Power S1014 Power10 Server (9105-41B)

9105-41B is the IBM Power S1014, a one-socket Power10 server that comes as a 4U rack-mount or as a desk-side tower. It has an entry single-chip module with a 4-core or 8-core processor at 3.0 - 3.90 GHz, or a 24-core processor at 2.75 - 3.90 GHz. The 8-core and 24-core options are rack-mount only. Each core runs up to eight threads, and processor cores carry static activations on a per-core basis.

Memory sits in eight Differential DIMM slots on the Power10 Open Memory Interface, populated in feature pairs of 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDIMMs for 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB per feature. DDR4 and DDR5 cannot be mixed in one server. The S1014 takes up to 1 TB with the 8-core or 24-core processor, with at least 32 GB installed, and peak memory bandwidth is up to 204 GBps. With the 4-core processor under IBM i, the memory maximum is 64 GB. Transparent memory encryption is built in, and Active Memory Mirroring is not available.

There are five usable PCIe slots: four support Gen5 adapters and the fifth is Gen4. Up to two storage backplanes each carry eight NVMe U.2 slots, for drives of 800 GB, 1.6 TB or 3.2 TB, and an optional internal RDX drive is available. The server has a service processor, redundant hot-swap AC power supplies, hot-swap cooling, one front and two rear USB 3.0 ports, two 1 GbE RJ45 HMC ports and a system port. The 24-core module suits Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 consolidation because it meets the two-socket licence limit with one socket.

The rack chassis is 482 mm wide, 712 mm deep and 173 mm high, and weighs 42.6 kg.
