TL2MB1 without optional SAS controller

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.

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.
