POWER9 Enterprise Servers Level 2 Quiz - Attempt Review
Question 1
Correct
Select one:
All the POWER9 core options provide the same

Question 5
Incorrect
Select one:
The E950 has 12 PCIe slots with one slot reserved for the
Service Processor Card. Therefore, 11 slots can be
populated in this configuration.
The E950 has 12 PCIe slots but with only half of the
The E950 has 12 PCIe slots with one slot reserved for the
Service Processor Card. Therefore, only half of the slots
could be activated minus the 1 service processor card slot
which would mean 5 PCIe slots would be available in this
configuration.

Question 12
Incorrect
Select one:
The E950 and E980 both use buffered memory leveraging
CDIMMs, similar to
POWER8, with 8 CDIMM slots per
socket. This allows clients to move their memory over from
POWER8 to POWER9.
Both the E950 and E980 use buffered memory but the
E950 uses industry standard DIMMs installed on a set of
riser cards while the E980 leverages CDIMMs similar to
POWER8 which allows clients to move memory from
POWER8 systems but only to the E980 systems.
The
E950 and E980 both use buffered memory with
industry standard DIMMs installed on a set of riser cards
(2 riser cards per socket).

Question 13
Incorrect
Select one:
Clients can mix DDR3 and DDR4 memory in the same
system, but a single riser card must have only one type
of memory (either DDR3 or DDR4) and not both.
Question 14
Correct
Select one:
Both systems support AIX, Linux, and IBM i.
The E950 supports AIX and Linux only while the E980
Both systems support only AIX and IBM i. They will also
support Linux but for SAP HANA implementations only with
the H950 and H980.

Question 17
Correct
Select one:
You talk to the client about using POWER9 servers for new
workloads while they continue to run their existing
workloads on their current Power 770s because there is no
cost advantage to migrate from existing hardware to new
hardware but there are significant benefits for deploying
new workloads on POWER9.
You talk to them about how they can buy a 64 core E950 to
replace their current 64 core E770 and transfer those
licenses one for one to the POWER9. This should give them
equivalent performance as their 770 but give them better
reliability and therefore save them money when it comes to
the cost of downtime.
