Note: There are several POWER9 design points to consider when comparing hardware designs that use SMP communication bandwidths as a unique measurement. POWER9 provides:
•More cores per socket leading to lower inter-CPU communication.
•More RAM density (up to 2 TB per socket) that leads to less inter-CPU communication.
•Greater RAM bandwidth for less dependence on an L3 cache.
•Intelligent hypervisor scheduling that places RAM usage close to the CPU.
•New SMP routing so that multiple channels are available when congestion occurs.

Tip: If two #EC59s are configured, each with two #EC14s, it is possible to have the rootvg of the first VIOS mirrored to an #EC14 in each #EC59, and the second VIOS could be mirrored to the other two modules, which provides excellent performance and resilience.
Or, each #EC14 could be assigned to a separate partition or VIOS server as a boot device.
|
Note: You must order, at a minimum, one #ES14 module with each #EC59 that you order. The maximum quantity is two #ES14s per #EC59.
|
Note: Assignment to the VIOS is supported.
|
Note: Only one SAS drawer is supported from the external SAS port. More SAS drawers can be supported through SAS adapters.
|
Note: If you use an external/stand-alone USB drive, which does not have its own power supply, you should use a USB socket at the front of the system to ensure enough current is available.

Cable lengths: Use the 3.0 m cables for intra-rack installations. Use the 10.0 m cables for inter-rack installations.
Limitation: You cannot mix copper and optical cables on the same PCIe Gen3 I/O drawer. Both fan-out modules use copper cables or both use optical cables.
