PowerVM
PowerVM, which delivers industrial-strength virtualization for AIX and Linux environments on Power processor-based systems, provides a virtualization-oriented performance monitor, and performance statistics are available through the HMC. These performance statistics can be used to understand the workload characteristics and to prepare for capacity planning.
Processor modules
The Power10 processor is the compute engine for the next generation of Power systems and successor to the current Power9 processor. It offers superior performance on applications, such as MMA facility to accelerate computation-intensive kernels, matrix multiplication, convolution, and discrete Fourier transform. To efficiently accelerate MMA operations, the Power10 processor core implements a dense math engine (DME) microarchitecture that effectively provides an accelerator for cognitive computing, machine learning, and AI inferencing workloads.
A maximum of two Power10 processors of the same type are allowed. The following defines the allowed quantities of processor activation entitlements:
- One 12-core, typical 2.90 to 4.0 Ghz (max) processor (#EPGG) requires that 12 processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of 12 processor activations (#EPFG) are allowed.
- Two 12-core, typical 2.90 to 4.0 Ghz (max) processors (#EPGG) require that 24 processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of 24 processor activations (#EPFG) are allowed.
- Two 16-core, typical 2.75 to 4.0 GHz (max) processors (#EPGF) require that 32 processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of 32 processor activation code features (#EPFF) are allowed.
- Two 20-core, typical 2.45 to 3.90 GHz (max) processors (#EPGH) require that 40 processor activation codes be ordered. A maximum of 40 processor activation code features (#EPFH) are allowed.
Power10 processors also offer enhanced Workload Optimized Frequency for optimum performance. This mode can dynamically optimize the processor frequency at any given time based on CPU utilization and operating environmental conditions. For a description of this feature and other power management options available for this server, see the IBM EnergyScale for Power10 Processor-Based Systems website.
MMA
The Power10 processor core inherits the modular architecture of the Power9 processor core, but the redesigned and enhanced microarchitecture significantly increases the processor core performance and processing efficiency. The peak computational throughput is markedly improved by new execution capabilities and optimized cache bandwidth characteristics. Extra matrix math acceleration engines can deliver significant performance gains for machine learning, particularly for AI inferencing workloads.
Memory
The Power L1022 server uses the next-generation DDIMMs, which are high-performance, high-reliability, high-function memory cards that contain a buffer chip, intelligence, and 2666 MHz or 3200 MHz DRAM memory. DDIMMs are placed in DDIMM slots in the server system.
- A minimum 32 GB of memory is required with one processor module. All Memory DIMMs must be ordered in pairs.
- A minimum 64 GB of memory is required with two processor modules. All Memory DIMMs must be ordered in quads.
- Each DIMM feature code delivers two physical Memory DIMMs.
Plans for future memory upgrades should be taken into account when deciding which memory feature size to use at the time of initial system order.
To assist with the plugging rules, two DDIMMs are ordered using one memory feature number. Select from:
- 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDIMMs, 3200 MHz, 8 Gb DDR4 Memory (#EM7N)
- 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDIMMs, 3200 MHz, 8 Gb DDR4 Memory (#EM7W)
- 128 GB (2 x 64 GB) DDIMMs, 3200 MHz, 16 Gb DDR4 Memory (#EM7X)
- 256 GB (2 x 128 GB) DDIMMs, 2666 MHz, 16 Gb DDR4 Memory (#EM7Y)
AMM
AMM for Hypervisor is available as an option (#EM8G) to enhance resilience by mirroring critical memory used by the PowerVM hypervisor so that it can continue operating in the event of a memory failure. A portion of available memory can be proactively partitioned such that a duplicate set may be utilized upon non-correctable memory errors. This can be implemented at the granularity of DIMMs or logical memory blocks.
Power L1022 and IBM i
IBM i support is provided at a price-attractive P10 software tier even though the Power L1022 has two sockets. There are limitations to the maximum size of the partition, and all I/O must be virtualized through VIOS. VIOS is required, and IBM i partitions must be set to "restricted I/O". Up to four cores (real or virtual) per IBM i partition are supported. Multiple IBM i partitions can be created and run concurrently, and each individual partition can have up to four cores. IBM i is only allowed as a secondary partition.
Titanium power supply
Titanium power supplies are designed to meet the latest efficiency regulations. Two titanium power supplies support a rack: 1+1 2000 watt, 200--240 volt.
Redundant fans
Redundant fans are standard.
Power cords
Two power cords are required. The Power L1022 supports a 4.3-meter (14 feet) power cord, drawer to wall/IBM PDU (250V/10A) in the base shipment group. See the feature listing for other options.
PCIe slots
The Power L1022 has up to eight U.2 NVMe devices and up to ten PCIe hot-plug slots with concurrent maintenance, providing excellent configuration flexibility and expandability. For more information about PCIe slots, see the rack-integrated system with I/O expansion drawer section below.
With two Power10 processor dual-chip modules (DCMs), ten PCIe slots are available:
- Four x16 Gen4 or x8 Gen5 half-height, half-length slots
- Four x8 Gen5 half-height, half-length slots (with x16 connectors)
- Two x8 Gen4 half-height, half-length slots (with x16 connectors)
With one Power10 processor DCM, five PCIe slots are available:
- One PCIe x16 Gen4 or x8 Gen5, half-height, half-length slot
- Three PCIe x8 Gen5, half-height, half-length slots (with x16 connector)
- One PCIe x8 Gen4, half-height, half-length slot (with x16 connector)
The x16 slots can provide up to twice the bandwidth of x8 slots because they offer twice as many PCIe lanes. PCIe Gen5 slots can support up to twice the bandwidth of a PCIe Gen4 slot, and PCIe Gen4 slots can support up to twice the bandwidth of a PCIe Gen3 slot, assuming an equivalent number of PCIe lanes.
At least one PCIe Ethernet adapter is required on the server by IBM to ensure proper manufacture, testing, and support of the server. One of the x8 PCIe slots is used for this required adapter.
These servers are smarter about energy efficiency when cooling the PCIe adapter environment. They sense which IBM PCIe adapters are installed in their PCIe slots and, if an adapter requires higher levels of cooling, they automatically speed up fans to increase airflow across the PCIe adapters. Note that faster fans increase the sound level of the server. Higher wattage PCIe adapters include the PCIe3 SAS adapters and SSD/flash PCIe adapters (#EJ10, #EJ14, and #EJ0J).
NVMe drive slots and storage backplane options
NVMe SSDs, in the 15-millimeter carrier U.2 2.5-inch form factor, are used for internal storage in the Power L1022 system. The Power L1022 supports up to 8 NVMe U.2 devices when two storage backplanes with four NVMe U.2 drive slots (#EJ1X) are ordered. Both the 7-millimeter and 15-millimeter NVMe are supported in the 15-millimeter carrier.
Cable management arm
A folding arm is attached to the server's rails at the rear of the server. The server's power cords and the cables from the PCIe adapters or integrated ports run through the arm and into the rack. The arm enables the server to be pulled forward on its rails for service access to PCIe slots, memory, processors, and so on without disconnecting the cables from the server. Approximately 1 meter (3 feet) of cord or cable length is needed for the arm.
Integrated I/O ports
There are two HMC ports and two USB 3.0 ports. The two HMC ports are RJ45, supporting 1 Gb Ethernet connections. The eBMC USB 2.0 port can be used for communication to an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) or code update.
Rack-integrated system with I/O expansion drawer
Regardless of the rack-integrated system to which the PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer is attached, if the expansion drawer is ordered as factory integrated, the PDUs in the rack will be placed horizontally by default to enhance cable management.
Expansion drawers complicate the access to vertical PDUs if located at the same height. IBM recommends accommodating PDUs horizontally on racks containing one or more PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer.
After the rack with expansion drawers is delivered, you can rearrange the PDUs from horizontal to vertical. However, the configurator will continue to consider the PDUs as being placed horizontally for the matter of calculating the free space still available in the rack.
Vertical PDUs can be used only if CSRP (#0469) is on the order. When specifying CSRP, you must provide the locations where the PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawers should be placed. Note that you must avoid locating the expansion drawers adjacent to vertical PDU locations EIA 6 through 16 and 21 through 31.
The I/O expansion drawer can be migrated from a Power9 to a Power10 processor-based system. Only I/O cards supported on Power10 in the I/O expansion drawer are allowed. Clients migrating the I/O expansion drawer configuration might have one or two PCIe3 6-slot fanout modules (#EMXH) installed in the rear of the I/O expansion drawer.
For a 2U server configuration with one processor module, up to one I/O expansion drawer (#EMX0) and one fanout module (#EMXH) connected to one PCIe x16 to CXP Converter Card Adapter (#EJ24) are supported. The right PCIe module bay must be populated by a filler module.
For a 2U server configuration with two processor modules, up to two I/O expansion drawers (#EMX0) and four fanout modules (#EMXH) connected to four PCIe x16 to CXP Converter Card Adapters (#EJ24) are supported.
Limitations:
- Mixing of prior PCIe3 fanout modules (#EMXF or #EMXG) with PCIe3 fanout modules (#EMXH) in the same I/O expansion drawer is not allowed.
- PCIe x16 to CXP Converter Card Adapter (#EJ24) requires one PCIe3 x16 slot in system unit plus a pair of copper cables (one copper pair feature, such as feature ECCS).
RDX docking station
The RDX docking station accommodates RDX removable disk cartridges of any capacity. The disk is in a protective rugged cartridge enclosure that plugs into the docking station. The docking station holds one removable rugged disk drive or cartridge at a time. The rugged removable disk cartridge and docking station performs saves, restores, and backups similar to a tape drive. This docking station can be an excellent entry capacity and performance option.
EXP24SX SAS storage enclosure
The EXP24SX is a storage expansion enclosure with 24 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) SAS bays. It supports up to 24 hot-plug HDDs or SSDs in only 2 EIA of space in a 19-inch rack. The EXP24SX SFF bays use SFF Gen2 (SFF-2) carriers or trays.
The EXP24SX drawer feature ESLS is supported on the Power10 scale-out servers by AIX, IBM i, Linux, and VIOS.
With AIX, Linux, or VIOS, the EXP24SX can be ordered with four sets of 6 bays (mode 4), two sets of 12 bays (mode 2), or one set of 24 bays (mode 1). With IBM i, only one set of 24 bays (mode 1) is supported. It is possible to change the mode setting in the field using software commands along with a specifically documented procedure.
Important: When changing modes, a skilled, technically qualified person should follow the special documented procedures. Improperly changing modes can potentially destroy existing RAID sets, prevent access to existing data, or allow other partitions to access another partition's existing data. Hire an expert to assist if you are not familiar with this type of reconfiguration work.
Four mini-SAS HD ports on the EXP24SX are attached to PCIe Gen3 SAS adapters or attached to an integrated SAS controller in a Power10 scale-out server. The following PCIe3 SAS adapters support the EXP24SX:
- PCIe3 RAID SAS Adapter quad-port 6 Gb x8 (#EJ0J)
- PCIe3 12 GB Cache RAID Plus SAS Adapter quad-port 6 Gb x8 (#EJ14)
- PCIe3 LP RAID SAS Adapter quad-port 6 Gb x8 (#EJ0M)
Earlier-generation PCIe1 or PCIe2 SAS adapters are not supported with the EXP24SX.
The attachment between the EXP24SX and the PCIe3 SAS adapters or integrated SAS controllers is through SAS YO12 or X12 cables. X12 and YO12 cables are designed to support up to 12 Gb SAS. The PCIe Gen3 SAS adapters support up to 6 Gb throughput. The EXP24SX has been designed to support up to 12 Gb throughput if future SAS adapters support that capability. All ends of the YO12 and X12 cables have mini-SAS HD narrow connectors. Cable options are:
- X12 cable: 3-meter copper (#ECDJ), 4.5-meter optical (#ECDK), 10-meter optical (#ECDL)
- YO12 cables: 1.5-meter copper (#ECDT), 3-meter copper (#ECDU)
- 1M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5K)
- 1.5M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5L)
- 2M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5M)
- 3M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5R)
- 5M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5S)
- 10M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5T)
- 15M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5U)
- 20M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5V)
- 30M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5W)
- 50M 100 GbE Optical Cable QSFP28 (AOC) (#EB5X)
An AA12 cable interconnecting a pair of PCIe3 12 GB cache adapters (two #EJ14) is not attached to the EXP24SX. These higher-bandwidth cables could support 12 Gb throughput if future adapters support that capability. Copper feature ECE0 is 0.6 meters long, feature ECE3 is 3 meters long, and optical AA12 feature ECE4 is 4.5 meters long.
One no-charge specify code is used with each EXP24SX I/O drawer (#ESLS) to communicate to IBM configurator tools and IBM Manufacturing which mode setting, adapter, and SAS cable are needed. With this specify code, no hardware is shipped. The physical adapters, controllers, and cables must be ordered with their own chargeable feature numbers. There are more technically supported configurations than are represented by these specify codes. IBM Manufacturing and IBM configurator tools such as e-config only understand and support EXP24SX configurations represented by these specify codes.
| Specify code | Mode | Adapter/Controller | Cable to drawer | Environment |
| EJW0 | Mode 1 | CEC SAS Ports | 2 YO12 cables | AIX/IBM i/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW1 | Mode 1 | One (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 1 YO12 cable | AIX/IBM i/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW2 | Mode 1 | Two (one pair) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 YO12 cables | AIX/IBM i/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW3 | Mode 2 | Two (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 X12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW4 | Mode 2 | Four (two pair) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 X12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW5 | Mode 4 | Four (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 X12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW6 | Mode 2 | One (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 YO12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJW7 | Mode 2 | Two (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 YO12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWF | Mode 1 | Two (one pair) #EJ14 | 2 Y012 cables | AIX/IBM i/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWG | Mode 2 | Two (one pair) #EJ14 | 2 X12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWJ | Mode 2 | Four (two pair) #EJ14 | 2 X12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
All of the above EXP24SX specify codes assume a full set of adapters and cables able to run all the SAS bays configured. The following specify codes communicate to IBM Manufacturing a lower-cost partial configuration is to be configured where the ordered adapters and cables can run only a portion of the SAS bays. The future MES addition of adapters and cables can enable the remaining SAS bays for growth. The following specify codes are used:
| Specify code | Mode | Adapter/Controller | Cable to drawer | Environment |
| EJWA (1/2 of EJW7) | Mode 2 | One (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 1 YO12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWB (1/2 of EJW4) | Mode 2 | Two (one pair) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 1 X12 cable | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWC (1/4 of EJW5) | Mode 4 | One (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 1 X12 cable | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWD (1/2 of EJW5) | Mode 4 | Two (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 1 X12 cable | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWE (3/4 of EJW5) | Mode 4 | Three (unpaired) #EJ0J/#EJ0M | 2 X12 cables | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
| EJWH (1/2 of EJWJ) | Mode 2 | Two (one pair) #EJ14 | 1 X12 cable | AIX/Linux/VIOS |
An EXP24SX drawer in mode 4 can be attached to two or four SAS controllers and provide a great deal of configuration flexibility. For example, if using unpaired feature EJ0J adapters, these EJ0J adapters could be in the same server in the same partition, same server in different partitions, or even different servers.
An EXP24SX drawer in mode 2 has similar flexibility. If the I/O drawer is in mode 2, then half of its SAS bays can be controlled by one pair of PCIe3 SAS adapters, such as a 12 GB write cache adapter pair (#EJ14), and the other half can be controlled by a different PCIe3 SAS 12 GB write cache adapter pair or by zero-write-cache PCIe3 SAS adapters.
Note that for simplicity, IBM configurator tools such as e-config assume that the SAS bays of an individual I/O drawer are controlled by one type of SAS adapter. As a client, you have more flexibility than e-config understands.
A maximum of 24 2.5-inch SSDs or 2.5-inch HDDs is supported in the EXP24SX 24 SAS bays. There can be no mixing of HDDs and SSDs in the same mode 1 drawer. HDDs and SSDs can be mixed in a mode 2 or mode 4 drawer, but they cannot be mixed within a logical split of the drawer. For example, in a mode 2 drawer with two sets of 12 bays, one set could hold SSDs and one set could hold HDDs, but you cannot mix SSDs and HDDs in the same set of 12 bays.
The indicator feature EHS2 helps IBM Manufacturing understand where SSDs are placed in a mode 2 or a mode 4 EXP24SX drawer. On one mode 2 drawer, use a quantity of one feature EHS2 to have SSDs placed in just half the bays, and use two EHS2 features to have SSDs placed in any of the bays. Similarly, on one mode 4 drawer, use a quantity of one, two, three, or four EHS2 features to indicate how many bays can have SSDs. With multiple EXP24SX orders, IBM Manufacturing will have to guess which quantity of feature ESH2 is associated with each EXP24SX. Consider using CSP (#0456) to reduce guessing.
Two-and-a-half-inch SFF SAS HDDs and SSDs are supported in the EXP24SX. All drives are mounted on Gen2 carriers or trays and thus named SFF-2 drives.
The EXP24SX drawer has many high-reliability design points:
- SAS drive bays that support hot swap
- Redundant and hot-plug-capable power and fan assemblies
- Dual line cords
- Redundant and hot-plug enclosure service modules (ESMs)
- Redundant data paths to all drives
- LED indicators on drives, bays, ESMs, and power supplies that support problem identification
- Through the SAS adapters or controllers, drives that can be protected with RAID and mirroring and hot-spare capability
Order two ESLA features for AC power supplies. The enclosure is shipped with adjustable depth rails and can accommodate 19-inch rack depths from 59.5--75 centimeters (23.4--29.5 inches). Slot filler panels are provided for empty bays when initially shipped from IBM.
PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer cabling option
A copper cabling option (#ECCS) is available for the scale-out servers. The cable option offers a much lower-cost connection between the server and the PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer fanout modules. The currently available Active Optical Cable (AOC) offers much longer length cables, providing rack placement flexibility. Plus, AOC cables are much thinner and have tighter bend radius and thus are much easier to cable in the rack.
The 3M Copper CXP Cable Pair (#ECCS) has the same performance and same reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) characteristics as the AOC cables. One copper cable length of 3 meters is offered. Note that the cable management arm of the scale-out servers requires about 1 meter of cable.
Like the AOC cable pair, the copper pair is cabled in the same manner. One cable attaches to the top CXP port in the PCIe adapter in the x16 PCIe slot in the server system unit and then attaches to the top CXP port in the fanout module in the I/O drawer. Its cable pair attaches to the bottom CXP port of the same PCIe adapter and to the bottom CXP port of the same fanout module. Note that the PCIe adapter providing the CXP ports on the server was named a PCIe3 "Optical" Cable Adapter. In hindsight, this naming was unfortunate as the adapter's CXP ports are not unique to optical. But at the time, optical cables were the only connection option planned.
Copper and AOC cabling can be mixed on the same server. However, they cannot be mixed on the same PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer or mixed on the same fanout module.
Copper cables have the same operating system software prerequisites as AOC cables.
Racks
The Power10 server is designed to fit a standard 19-inch rack. IBM Development has tested and certified the system in the IBM Enterprise Rack (7965-S42). The 7965-S42 is a 2-meter enterprise rack that provides 42U or 42 EIA of space. You can choose to place the server in other racks if you are confident those racks have the strength, rigidity, depth, and hole pattern characteristics required. You should work with IBM Service to determine the appropriateness of other racks.
It is highly recommended that the Power L1022 be ordered with an IBM 42U Enterprise Rack (7965-S42). An initial system order is placed in a 7965-S42 rack. This is done to ease and speed client installation, provide a more complete and higher quality environment for IBM Manufacturing system assembly and testing, and provide a more complete shipping package.
Recommendation: The 7965-S42 has optimized cable routing, so all 42U may be populated with equipment.
The 7965-S42 rack does not need 2U on either the top or bottom for cable egress.
With the 2-meter 7965-S42 rack, a rear rack extension of 12.7 centimeters (5 inches), feature ECRK, provides space to hold cables on the side of the rack and keep the center area clear for cooling and service access.
Recommendation: Include the above extensions when more than approximately 16 I/O cables per side are present or may be added in the future; when using the short-length, thinner SAS cables; or when using thinner I/O cables, such as Ethernet. If you use longer-length, thicker SAS cables, fewer cables will fit within the rack.
SAS cables are most commonly found with multiple EXP24SX SAS drawers (#ESLS) driven by multiple PCIe SAS adapters. For this reason, it is good practice to keep multiple EXP24SX drawers in the same rack as the PCIe I/O drawer or in a separate rack close to the PCIe I/O drawer, using shorter, thinner SAS cables. The feature ECRK extension can be good to use even with smaller numbers of cables because it enhances the ease of cable management with the extra space it provides.
Multiple service personnel are required to manually remove or insert a system node drawer into a rack, given its dimensions and weight and content.
Recommendation: To avoid any delay in service, obtain an optional lift tool (#EB3Z). A lighter, lower-cost lift tool is feature EB3Z1 (lift tool) and EB4Z1 (angled shelf kit for lift tool). The EB3Z lift tool provides a hand crank to lift and position a server up to 400 pounds. Note that a single system node can weigh up to 86.2 kilograms (190 pounds).
1 Feature EB3Z and feature EB4Z are not available to order in Albania, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Jordan, Kuwait, Kosovo, Montenegro, Morocco, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

| PDU description | 208 V 3-phase delta | 200 V--240V 1-phase or 3-phase wye |
| High-function 12xC13 | #ECJQ/#ECJP | #ECJN/#ECJM |
| High-function 9xC19 | #ECJL/#ECJK | #ECJJ/#ECJG |
These PDUs can be mounted vertically in rack-side pockets or they can be mounted horizontally. If mounted horizontally, they each use one EIA (1U) of rack space. See feature EPTH for horizontal mounting hardware, which is used when IBM Manufacturing doesn't automatically factory-install the PDU. Two RJ45 ports on the front of the PDU enable you to monitor each receptacle's electrical power usage and to remotely switch any receptacle on or off.
Recommendation: The PDU is shipped with a generic PDU password. IBM strongly urges you to change it upon installation.
Existing and new high-function (switched and monitored) PDUs have the same physical dimensions. New high-function (switched and monitored) PDUs can be supported in the same racks as existing PDUs. Mixing of PDUs in a rack on new orders is not allowed.
Also, all factory-integrated orders must have the same PDU line cord.
The PDU features #ECJQ/#ECJP and #ECJL/#ECJK with the Amphenol inlet connector require new PDU line cords:
- #ECJ5 - 4.3 meter (14-foot) PDU to Wall 3PH/24A 200--240V Delta-wired Power Cord
- #ECJ7 - 4.3 meter (14-foot) PDU to Wall 3PH/48A 200--240V Delta-wired Power Cord
No pigtail (like #ELC0) is available because an Amphenol male inline connector is unavailable.
The PDU features #ECJJ/#ECJG and #ECJN/#ECJM with the UTG624-7SKIT4/5 inlet connector use the existing PDU line cord features #6653, #6667, #6489, #6654, #6655, #6656, #6657, #6658, #6491, or #6492.
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability
Reliability, fault tolerance, and data correction
The reliability of systems starts with components, devices, and subsystems that are designed to be highly reliable. During the design and development process, subsystems go through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help ensure the highest level of product quality.
The Power10 processor-based scale-out systems come with the following RAS characteristics:
- Power10 processor RAS
- Open Memory Interface, DDIMMs RAS
- Enterprise BMC service processor for system management and Service
- AMM for Hypervisor
- NVMe drives concurrent maintenance
- PCIe adapters concurrent maintenance
- Redundant and hot-plug cooling
- Redundant and hot-plug power
- Light path enclosure and FRU LEDs
- Service and FRU labels
- Client or IBM install
- Proactive support and service -- call home
- Client or IBM service
Service processor
Power10 scale-out 2S-4S systems come with a redesigned service processor based on a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) design with firmware that is accessible through open-source industry standard APIs, such as Redfish. An upgraded ASMI web browser user interface preserves the required RAS functions while allowing the user to perform tasks in a more intuitive way.
Diagnostic monitoring of recoverable error from the processor chipset is performed on the system processor itself, while the fatal diagnostic monitoring of the processor chipset is performed by the service processor. It runs on its own power boundary and does not require resources from a system processor to be operational to perform its tasks.
The service processor supports surveillance of the connection to the HMC and to the system firmware (hypervisor). It also provides several remote power control options, environmental monitoring, reset, restart, remote maintenance, and diagnostic functions, including console mirroring. The BMC service processors menus (ASMI) can be accessed concurrently during system operation, allowing nondisruptive abilities to change system default parameters, view and download error logs, check system health.
Redfish, an industry standard for server management, enables the Power servers to be managed individually or in a large data center. Standard functions such as inventory, event logs, sensors, dumps, and certificate management are all supported with Redfish. In addition, new user management features support multiple users and privileges on the BMC via Redfish or ASMI. User management via LDAP is also supported. The Redfish events service provides a means for notification of specific critical events such that actions can be taken to correct issues. The Redfish telemetry service provides access to a wide variety of data (eg. power consumption, ambient, core, DIMM and I/O temperatures, etc) that can be streamed on periodic intervals.
Mutual surveillance
The service processor monitors the operation of the firmware during the boot process and also monitors the hypervisor for termination. The hypervisor monitors the service processor and reports a service reference code when it detects surveillance loss. In the PowerVM environment, it will perform a reset/reload if it detects the loss of the service processor.
Environmental monitoring functions
The Power family does ambient and over temperature monitoring and reporting. It also adjusts fan speeds automatically based on those temperatures.
Memory subsystem RAS:
The Power10 scale-out system introduces a new 2U tall DDIMM, which has new open CAPI memory interface known as OMI for resilient and fast communication to the processor. This new memory subsystem design delivers solid RAS as described below.
Power10 processor functions
As in Power9, the Power10 processor has the ability to do processor instruction retry for some transient errors and core-contained checkstop for certain solid faults. The fabric bus design with CRC and retry persists in Power10 where a CRC code is used for checking data on the bus and has an ability to retry a faulty operation.
Cache availability
The L2/L3 caches in the Power10 processor in the memory buffer chip are protected with double-bit detect, single-bit correct error detection code (ECC). In addition, a threshold of correctable errors detected on cache lines can result in the data in the cache lines being purged and the cache lines removed from further operation without requiring a reboot in the PowerVM environment.
Modified data would be handled through Special Uncorrectable Error handling. L1 data and instruction caches also have a retry capability for intermittent errors and a cache set delete mechanism for handling solid failures.
Special Uncorrectable Error handling
Special Uncorrectable Error (SUE) handling prevents an uncorrectable error in memory or cache from immediately causing the system to terminate. Rather, the system tags the data and determines whether it will ever be used again. If the error is irrelevant, it will not force a check stop. When and if data is used, I/O adapters controlled by an I/O hub controller would freeze if data were transferred to an I/O device, otherwise, termination may be limited to the program/kernel or if the data is not owned by the hypervisor.
PCI extended error handling
PCI extended error handling (EEH)-enabled adapters respond to a special data packet generated from the affected PCI slot hardware by calling system firmware, which will examine the affected bus, allow the device driver to reset it, and continue without a system reboot. For Linux, EEH support extends to the majority of frequently used devices, although some third-party PCI devices may not provide native EEH support.
Uncorrectable error recovery
When the auto-restart option is enabled, the system can automatically restart following an unrecoverable software error, hardware failure, or environmentally induced (AC power) failure.
Serviceability
The purpose of serviceability is to efficiently repair the system while attempting to minimize or eliminate impact to system operation. Serviceability includes system installation, MES (system upgrades/downgrades), and system maintenance/repair. Depending upon the system and warranty contract, service may be performed by the client, an IBM representative, or an authorized warranty service provider.
The serviceability features delivered in this system help provide a highly efficient service environment by incorporating the following attributes:
- Design for SSR setup, install, and service
- Error Detection and Fault Isolation (ED/FI)
- First Failure Data Capture (FFDC)
- Light path service indicators
- Service and FRU labels available on the system
- Service procedures documented in IBM Documentation or available through the HMC
- Automatic reporting of serviceable events to IBM through the Electronic Service Agent Call Home application
Service environment
In the PowerVM environment, the HMC is a dedicated server that provides functions for configuring and managing servers for either partitioned or full-system partition using a GUI or command-line interface (CLI) or REST API. An HMC attached to the system enables support personnel (with client authorization) to remotely, or locally to the physical HMC that is in proximity of the server being serviced, log in to review error logs and perform remote maintenance if required.
The Power10 processor-based systems support several service environments:
- Attachment to one or more HMCs or vHMCs is a supported option by the system with PowerVM. This is the default configuration for servers supporting logical partitions with dedicated or virtual I/O. In this case, all servers have at least one logical partition.
- No HMC. There are two service strategies for non-HMC systems.
-
- Full-system partition with PowerVM: A single partition owns all the server resources and only one operating system may be installed. The primary service interface is through the operating system and the service processor.
- Partitioned system with NovaLink: In this configuration, the system can have more than one partition and can be running more than one operating system. The primary service interface is through the service processor.
Service interface
Support personnel can use the service interface to communicate with the service support applications in a server using an operator console, a graphical user interface on the management console or service processor, or an operating system terminal. The service interface helps to deliver a clear, concise view of available service applications, helping the support team to manage system resources and service information in an efficient and effective way. Applications available through the service interface are carefully configured and placed to give service providers access to important service functions.
Different service interfaces are used, depending on the state of the system, hypervisor, and operating environment. The primary service interfaces are:
- LEDs
- Operator panel
- BMC Service Processor menu
- Operating system service menu
- Service Focal Point on the HMC or vHMC with PowerVM
In the light path LED implementation, the system can clearly identify components for replacement by using specific component-level LEDs and can also guide the servicer directly to the component by signaling (turning on solid) the enclosure fault LED, and component FRU fault LED. The servicer can also use the identify function to blink the FRU-level LED. When this function is activated, a roll-up to the blue enclosure identify will occur to identify an enclosure in a rack. These enclosure LEDs will turn on solid and can be used to follow the light path from the enclosure and down to the specific FRU in the PowerVM environment.
First Failure Data Capture and error data analysis
First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) is a technique that helps ensure that when a fault is detected in a system, the root cause of the fault will be captured without the need to re-create the problem or run any sort of extending tracing or diagnostics program. For the vast majority of faults, a good FFDC design means that the root cause can also be detected automatically without servicer intervention.
FFDC information, error data analysis, and fault isolation are necessary to implement the advanced serviceability techniques that enable efficient service of the systems and to help determine the failing items.
In the rare absence of FFDC and Error Data Analysis, diagnostics are required to re-create the failure and determine the failing items.
Diagnostics
General diagnostic objectives are to detect and identify problems so they can be resolved quickly. Elements of IBM's diagnostics strategy include:
- Provide a common error code format equivalent to a system reference code with PowerVM, system reference number, checkpoint, or firmware error code.
- Provide fault detection and problem isolation procedures. Support remote connection ability to be used by the IBM Remote Support Center or IBM Designated Service.
- Provide interactive intelligence within the diagnostics with detailed online failure information while connected to IBM's back-end system.
Automatic diagnostics
The processor and memory FFDC technology is designed to perform without the need for re-create diagnostics nor require user intervention. Solid and intermittent errors are designed to be correctly detected and isolated at the time the failure occurs. Runtime and boot-time diagnostics fall into this category.
Standalone diagnostics
As the name implies, standalone or user-initiated diagnostics requires user intervention. The user must perform manual steps, including:
- Booting from the diagnostics CD, DVD, USB, or network
- Interactively selecting steps from a list of choices
Concurrent maintenance
The determination of whether a firmware release can be updated concurrently is identified in the readme information file that is released with the firmware. An HMC is required for the concurrent firmware update with PowerVM. In addition, concurrent maintenance of PCIe adapters and NVMe drives are supported with PowerVM. Power supplies, fans, and op panel LCD are hot pluggable.
Service labels
Service providers use these labels to assist them in performing maintenance actions. Service labels are found in various formats and positions and are intended to transmit readily available information to the servicer during the repair process. Following are some of these service labels and their purpose:
- Location diagrams: Location diagrams are located on the system hardware, relating information regarding the placement of hardware components. Location diagrams may include location codes, drawings of physical locations, concurrent maintenance status, or other data pertinent to a repair. Location diagrams are especially useful when multiple components such as DIMMs, processors, fans, adapter cards, and power supplies are installed.
- Remove/replace procedures: Service labels that contain remove/replace procedures are often found on a cover of the system or in other spots accessible to the servicer. These labels provide systematic procedures, including diagrams detailing how to remove or replace certain serviceable hardware components.
- Arrows: Numbered arrows are used to indicate the order of operation and the serviceability direction of components. Some serviceable parts such as latches, levers, and touch points need to be pulled or pushed in a certain direction and in a certain order for the mechanical mechanisms to engage or disengage. Arrows generally improve the ease of serviceability.
QR labels
QR labels are placed on the system to provide access to key service functions through a mobile device. When the QR label is scanned, it will go to a landing page for Power10 processor-based systems which contains each MTM service functions of interest while physically located at the server. These include things such as installation and repair instructions, reference code look up, and so on.
Packaging for service
The following service features are included in the physical packaging of the systems to facilitate service:
- Color coding (touch points): Blue-colored touch points delineate touchpoints on service components where the component can be safely handled for service actions such as removal or installation.
- Tool-less design: Selected IBM systems support tool-less or simple tool designs. These designs require no tools or simple tools such as flathead screw drivers to service the hardware components.
- Positive retention: Positive retention mechanisms help to assure proper connections between hardware components such as cables to connectors, and between two cards that attach to each other. Without positive retention, hardware components run the risk of becoming loose during shipping or installation, preventing a good electrical connection. Positive retention mechanisms like latches, levers, thumbscrews, pop Nylatches (U-clips), and cables are included to help prevent loose connections and aid in installing (seating) parts correctly. These positive retention items do not require tools.
Error handling and reporting
In the event of system hardware or environmentally induced failure, the system runtime error capture capability systematically analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis result will be stored in system NVRAM. When the system can be successfully restarted either manually or automatically, or if the system continues to operate, the error will be reported to the operating system. Hardware and software failures are recorded in the system log filesystem. When an HMC is attached in the PowerVM environment, an ELA routine analyzes the error, forwards the event to the Service Focal Point (SFP) application running on the HMC, and notifies the system administrator that it has isolated a likely cause of the system problem. The service processor event log also records unrecoverable checkstop conditions, forwards them to the SFP application, and notifies the system administrator.
The system has the ability to call home through the operating system to report platform-recoverable errors and errors associated with PCI adapters/devices.
In the HMC-managed environment, a call home service request will be initiated from the HMC and the pertinent failure data with service parts information and part locations will be sent to an IBM service organization. Client contact information and specific system-related data such as the machine type, model, and serial number, along with error log data related to the failure, are sent to IBM Service.
Live Partition Mobility
With PowerVM Live Partition Mobility (LPM), users can migrate an AIX, IBM I, or Linux VM partition running on one Power partition system to another Power system without disrupting services. The migration transfers the entire system environment, including processor state, memory, attached virtual devices, and connected users. It provides continuous operating system and application availability during planned partition outages for repair of hardware and firmware faults. The Power10 systems using Power10-technology support secure LPM, whereby the VM image is encrypted and compressed prior to transfer. Secure LPM uses on-chip encryption and compression capabilities of the Power10 processor for optimal performance.
Call home
Call home refers to an automatic or manual call from a client location to the IBM support structure with error log data, server status, or other service-related information. Call home invokes the service organization in order for the appropriate service action to begin. Call home can be done through the Electronic Service Agent (ESA) imbedded in the HMC or through a version of ESA imbedded in the operating systems for non-HMC-managed or A version of ESA that runs as a standalone call home application. While configuring call home is optional, clients are encouraged to implement this feature in order to obtain service enhancements such as reduced problem determination and faster and potentially more accurate transmittal of error information. In general, using the call home feature can result in increased system availability. See the next section for specific details on this application.
IBM Electronic Services
Electronic Service Agent and Client Support Portal (CSP) comprise the IBM Electronic Services solution, which is dedicated to providing fast, exceptional support to IBM clients. IBM Electronic Service Agent is a no-charge tool that proactively monitors and reports hardware events such as system errors and collects hardware and software inventory. Electronic Service Agent can help focus on the client's company business initiatives, save time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day IT maintenance issues. In addition, Call Home Cloud Connect Web and Mobile capability extends the common solution and offers IBM Systems related support information applicable to Servers and Storage.
Details are available here: https://clientvantage.ibm.com/channel/ibm-call-home-connect.
System configuration and inventory information collected by Electronic Service Agent also can be used to improve problem determination and resolution between the client and the IBM support team. As part of an increased focus to provide even better service to IBM clients, Electronic Service Agent tool configuration and activation comes standard with the system. In support of this effort, a HMC External Connectivity security whitepaper has been published, which describes data exchanges between the HMC and the IBM Service Delivery Center (SDC) and the methods and protocols for this exchange. To read the whitepaper and prepare for Electronic Service Agent installation, see the "Security" section at the IBM Electronic Service Agent.
Benefits: increased uptime
Electronic Service Agent is designed to enhance the warranty and maintenance service by potentially providing faster hardware error reporting and uploading system information to IBM Support. This can optimize the time monitoring the symptoms, diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a problem record. And 24x7 monitoring and reporting means no more dependency on human intervention or off-hours client personnel when errors are encountered in the middle of the night.
Security: The Electronic Service Agent tool is designed to help secure the monitoring, reporting, and storing of the data at IBM. The Electronic Service Agent tool is designed to help securely transmit through the internet (HTTPS) to provide clients a single point of exit from their site. Initiation of communication is one way. Activating Electronic Service Agent does not enable IBM to call into a client's system.
For additional information, see the IBM Electronic Service Agent website.
More accurate reporting
Because system information and error logs are automatically uploaded to the IBM Support Center in conjunction with the service request, clients are not required to find and send system information, decreasing the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM, problem error data is run through a data knowledge management system, and knowledge articles are appended to the problem record.
Client Support Portal
Client Support Portal is a single internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. This web portal enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
This web portal provides valuable reports of installed hardware and software using information collected from the systems by IBM Electronic Service Agent. Reports are available for any system associated with the client's IBM ID.
For more information on how to utilize client support portal, visit the following website or contact an IBM Systems Services Representative.

Technical information
Specified operating environment
Physical specifications
- Width1: 482 mm (18.97 in.)
- Depth2: 813 mm (32 in.)
- Height: 86.5 mm (3.4 in.)
- Weight: 32.20 kg (71 lb)
- The width is measured to the outside edges of the rack-mount bezels. The width is 446 mm (17.6 in.) for the main chassis, which fits in between a 482.6 mm (19 in.) rack mounting flanges.
- The cable management arm with the maximum cable bundle adds 241 mm (9.5 in.) to the depth. Feature ECRK is required for the 7965-S42 rack.
To assure installability and serviceability in non-IBM industry-standard racks, review the installation planning information for any product-specific installation requirements.
Operating environment
Electrical characteristics
- AC rated voltage and frequency2: 200--240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz plus or minus 3 Hz
- Thermal output (maximum)3: 7643 BTU/hr
- Maximum power consumption3: 2240 W
- Maximum kVA4: 2.31 kVA
- Phase: Single
1. Redundancy is supported. The Power L1022 has a maximum of two power supplies. There are no specific plugging rules or plugging sequence when you connect the power supplies to the rack PDUs. All the power supplies feed a common DC bus.
2. The power supplies automatically accept any voltage with the published, rated-voltage range. If multiple power supplies are installed and operating, the power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (electrical supply) and provide approximately equal current to the load.
3. Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration. When you plan for an electrical system, it is important to use the maximum values. However, when you plan for heat load, you can use the IBM Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specific configuration. For more information, see The IBM Systems Energy Estimator website.
4. To calculate the amperage, multiply the kVA by 1,000 and divide that number by the operating voltage.
Environment (operating)1
- ASHRAE class; allowable A3 (fourth edition)
- Airflow direction; recommended front-to-back
- Temperature: Recommended 18.0°C--27.0°C (64.4°F--80.6°F); allowable 5.0°C--40.0°C (41.0°F--104.0°F)
- Low-end moisture: Recommended 9.0°C (15.8°F) dew point; allowable -12.0°C (10.4°F) dew point and 8% relative humidity
- High-end moisture: Recommended 60% relative humidity and 15°C (59°F) dew point; allowable 85% relative humidity and 24.0°C (75.2°F) dew point
- Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
Allowable environment (nonoperating)5
- Temperature: Recommended 5°C--45°C (41°F--113°F)
- Relative humidity: Recommended 8% to 85%
- Maximum dew point: Recommended 27.0°C (80.6°F)
1. IBM provides the recommended operating environment as the long-term operating environment that can result in the greatest reliability, energy efficiency, and reliability. The allowable operating environment represents where the equipment is tested to verify functionality. Due to the stresses that operating in the allowable envelope can place on the equipment, these envelopes must be used for short-term operation, not continuous operation. There are a very limited number of configurations that must not operate at the upper bound of the A3 allowable range. For more information, consult your IBM technical specialist.
2. Must derate the maximum allowable temperature 1°C (1.8°F) per 175 m (574 ft) above 900 m (2,953 ft) up to a maximum allowable elevation of 3,050 m (10,000 ft).
3. The minimum humidity level is the larger absolute humidity of the -12°C (10.4°F) dew point and the 8% relative humidity. These levels intersect at approximately 25°C (77°F). Below this intersection, the dew point (-12°C) represents the minimum moisture level, while above it, the relative humidity (8%) is the minimum. For the upper moisture limit, the limit is the minimum absolute humidity of the dew point and relative humidity that is stated.
4. The following minimum requirements apply to data centers that are operated at low relative humidity:
- Data centers that do not have ESD floors and where people are allowed to wear non-ESD shoes might want to consider increasing humidity given that the risk of generating 8 kV increases slightly at 8% relative humidity, when compared to 25% relative humidity.
- All mobile furnishings and equipment must be made of conductive or static dissipative materials and be bonded to ground.
- During maintenance on any hardware, a properly functioning and grounded wrist strap must be used by any personnel who comes in contact with information technology (IT) equipment.
5. Equipment that is removed from the original shipping container and is installed, but is powered down. The allowable nonoperating environment is provided to define the environmental range that an unpowered system can experience short term without being damaged.

Hardware Management Console (HMC) machine code
If the system is ordered with 1020 Firmware level, or higher, and is capable to be HMC managed, then the managing HMC must be installed with HMC 10.1.1020.0, or higher.
This level only supports hardware appliance types 7063, or virtual appliances (vHMC) on x86 or PowerVM. The 7042 hardware appliance is not supported.
An HMC is required to manage the Power L1022 server implementing partitioning. Multiple Power10, Power9, and Power8 processor-based servers can be supported by a single HMC with version 10.
Planned HMC hardware and software support:
- Hardware Appliance: 7063-CR1, 7063-CR2
- vHMC on x86
- vHMC on PowerVM based LPAR
If you are attaching an HMC to a new server or adding function to an existing server that requires a firmware update, the HMC machine code may need to be updated because HMC code must always be equal to or higher than the managed server's firmware. Access to firmware and machine code updates is conditioned on entitlement and license validation in accordance with IBM policy and practice. IBM may verify entitlement through customer number, serial number, electronic restrictions, or any other means or methods employed by IBM at its discretion.
To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level on any server, go to the following web page to access the Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT) on or after the planned availability date for this product. FLRT will identify the correct HMC machine code for the selected system firmware level; see the website Fix Level Recommendation Tool.
If a single HMC is attached to multiple servers, the HMC machine code level must be updated to be at or higher than the server with the most recent firmware level. All prior levels of server firmware are supported with the latest HMC machine code level.
The HMC code latest level contains the following:
- Support for managing Power10 server systems.
- Support for the HMC model 7063-CR2.
- Support for PowerVM functions such as the new HMC GUI interface for VIOS management.
- GUI for HMC's Performance and Capacity Monitoring function.
- An HMC command to initiate a remote restart operation. This removes the requirement of VMControl for the PowerVM Remote Restart function.
- For PowerVM GUI functions, VIOS is recommended.
For clients installing systems higher than the EIA 29 position (location of the rail that supports the rack-mounted server) in any IBM or non-IBM rack, acquire approved tools outlined in the server specifications section at IBM Documentation.
In situations where IBM service is required and the recommended tools are not available, there could be delays in repair actions.
