IBM feature #EKBB is the 1-Socket 1U LFF NVMe Fab Assembly, the system board of the IBM Power LC921 server, machine type 9006. The LC921 is a dense 19-inch rack-mount 1U server, and its default system board is an NVMe board. #EKBB is the one-socket version, which takes one POWER9 processor module, either the 16-core 2.2 GHz #EKP6 or the 20-core 2.13 GHz #EKP7. A 1-socket board cannot be upgraded to a 2-socket board, and the 2-socket board is #EKBC.
The #EKBB is part of the minimum LC921 initial order, together with one processor module, two 16 GB DDR4 DIMMs (#EKMF), a rack indicator, the Linux primary operating system and a language feature.
The 1U chassis carries four LFF/SFF bays for SAS/SATA hard disk drives or solid-state drives, and all four are NVMe-enabled. The integrated MicroSemi PM8069 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 without write cache and does not support 4K disks. The server runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Little Endian (POWER9) or later, or Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS.
