Talos™ II is Raptor Computing Systems' next-generation POWER9 platform. Focusing on security and performance, it is a dual socket PowerNV system that is available in desktop, workstation, and server form factors, or as bare mainboard.
Talos II is the successor to the proposed Talos I system.

Mainboard
Specifications
Mainboard Part # | Form Factor | CPU Type | Networking | Storage Controller |
---|---|---|---|---|
T2P9D01 | EATX | POWER9 Sforza | 2x GbE (Broadcom BCM5719) | SAS (optional, Microsemi PM8068) |
- EATX form factor
- Two POWER9-compatible CPU sockets accepting 4-/8-/18- or 22-core Sforza CPUs
- 16 DDR4 ECC registered RAM slots, quad-channel, supporting up to 2TB main memory
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports provided by a Broadcom BCM5719 chip
- One Microsemi SAS 3.0 controller (optional, upcharge on selection)
- Four USB 3.0 ports (2x rear, 2x on header for front panel) via firmware-free TUSB7340 XHCI chip
- One additional internal USB 2.0 Type-A port
- 1 VGA video port via BMC (2D framebuffer)
- 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 slots (single-width)
- 2 PCIe 4.0 x8 slots
- AST2500 BMC with OpenBMC
Notes
- Sforza CPU models not sold by Raptor (of any core count) are expected to work.
- CPUs with a TDP greater than 190W are likely to work, but it is possible that they will trigger a shutdown due to power overload (shouldn't cause any damage). Test reports welcome.
- Mismatched DD2.2/DD2.3 Sforza CPU models work fine (the DD2.3 CPU will behave like a DD2.2 model); DD2.1 should not be mixed with production steppings.
- Mismatched Sforza CPU clock speeds probably will fail to boot with current firmware; Raptor Engineering might be available to implement firmware support as contract work.
- Mismatched Sforza core counts will probably guard out the second CPU with current firmware; Raptor Engineering might be available to implement firmware support as contract work.
