Blackbird™ is an adaptation of Raptor Computing Systems' next-generation POWER9 platform to the μATX (microATX) form factor. Focusing on the desktop use case, it is a single socket PowerNV system.
Mainboard
Specifications
| Mainboard Part # | Form Factor | CPU Type | Networking | Storage Controller |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1P9S01 | MicroATX | POWER9 Sforza | 3x GbE (Broadcom BCM5719) | 4x SATA |
- MicroATX form factor
- One socket accepting a 4-core or 8-core POWER9 Sforza CPU
- Two DDR4 memory channels (ECC memory required)
- 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
- One x8 PCIe Gen4 slot
- AST2500 BMC with OpenBMC
Notes
- CPUs with more than eight cores may operate without WoF due to power regulator limitations.
- CPUs with four and eight cores function normally.
Support
- C1P9S01 User's Guide For Configuration and Setup is the primary user manual for Blackbird
