Specifications

Mainboard Part # Form Factor CPU Type Networking Storage Controller
C1P9S01 MicroATX POWER9 Sforza 3x GbE (Broadcom BCM5719) 4x SATA
  • MicroATX form factor
  • One LGA 2601 socket accepting a POWER9 Sforza CPU with TDP ≤ 160 W
  • Two DDR4 1600/1866/2133/2400/2666 ECC registered RAM slots, dual-channel, supporting up to 256GB main memory
  • Three Gigabit Ethernet ports provided by a Broadcom BCM5719 chip
  • Four SATA ports provided by a firmware-free Marvell 88SE9235 SATA chip
  • 5.1 audio supporting analog and S/PDIF outputs
  • HDMI output via BMC (2D framebuffer), using a firmware-free IT66121FN PHY chip
  • 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
  • One x16 PCIe Gen4 slot (CAPI2-capable)
  • One x8 PCIe Gen4 slot
  • AST2500 BMC with OpenBMC
  • One Lattice ICE40HX1K-VQ100 FPGA controller

Notes

  • 4-core and 8-core CPUs are officially supported.
  • Other CPUs (CPUs with a TDP greater than 160W) may operate without WoF due to power regulator limitations.
  • Of the three Ethernet ports on the back panel, the one above the USB ports is the one that is shared with the BMC.

Energy consumption

NOTE: numbers are approximate and may vary. System power measured at wall with standard instruments. CPU power reported by OCC.
