Power Systems S822
Introduced: August 1, 1997
Discontinued: August 2, 2002
Architecture: POWER8
Bus: PCIe
Minimum OS: IBM i 7.1
Maximum OS: IBM i 7.4

The Power Systems S822 (machine types 8284 and 8247) is a POWER8-based 2U server.

Software Compatibility

The S822 is available in two variants:

  • Machine Type 8284, the full-blown S822 capable of running IBM i, AIX, and Linux
  • Machine Type 8247, a lower-cost server capable of running Linux only

The hardware between the two machine types is identical, only differing in Vital Product Data.

When using Logical Partitions, HMC version X through X is required.

Virtual IO Server is supported.

Hardware

The Power Systems S822 came with x GB of Main Storage in its base configuration, and could support a maximum of x TB. It can support a maximum of X TB of disk storage across x DASD (unprotected). It can also support more DASD when connected to a storage array network or Fibre Channel array.

Power Supplies

All S822s sold were equipped with dual 1400 watt power supplies. Although these supplies are 100-240 volts, the VPD requires that it be connected to a minimum of 208 volts line voltage.

Resetting the Service Processor

The service processor may be reset by changing the position of a DIP switch on the planar board.
