Power 9
Power 9 End of Support Dates by Model
A model-first Power 9 lifecycle table for AS/400 and IBM i hardware planning.
Start lifecycle planning with the machine type, not the marketing label. An S914 can mean 9009-41A or 9009-41G, and those distinctions matter for support, parts, I/O, and migration planning.
Known Power 9 lifecycle signals
| Model | Machine Type | IBM Lifecycle Signal | Owner Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| S914 | 9009-41A | IBM lists end of support services as 31-Jan-2026. | Plan replacement, extension, or third-party maintenance now. |
| S922 | 9009-22A | IBM lists end of support services as 31-Jan-2026. | Map IBM i release and partition constraints before extending. |
| S924 | 9009-42A | IBM lists end of support services as 31-Jan-2026. | Compare extension cost against S1124 or S1024 replacement. |
| S914/S922/S924 G | 9009-41G / 22G / 42G | Withdrawn from marketing per reseller tracking and IBM announcements; verify support by serial. | Confirm current service entitlement and parts path. |
| E950/E980 | 9040-MR9 / 9080-M9S | Enterprise lifecycle requires exact IBM product lookup. | Do not infer from scale-out A-model dates. |
Confirm lifecycle by machine type before buying support
Once the exact system and entitlement are known, compare maintenance, parts, cloud, migration, and replacement providers in the IBM Power reseller directory.
