Check the model type you get from a "uname -M" and google for it.
it is IBM,9131-52A
This is a Model 520, so it is a System P.
System p means Power Processor (and most likely AIX as OS) System i means Intel processor (and definitely no AIX as OS). AIX won't run on System i.
I hope this helps.

Sorry bakunin I have to disagree.
System i will run AIX, i o/s and linux and is also power processor architecture.
System p will run i o/s but only on a single processor partition I believe.
In the latest releases of the system i and p series of machines they are now just branded as POWER and there is no difference between i and p systems as they were known. They will run aix, i o/s or linux or if partitioned a mixture of all is possible.
Hi,
I agree with my predecessor. But if the question is easily if you have a power cpu or not, do a lsconf | more and the output will show you clearly that you have a power processor (or more). And if you have AIX, you definitely do.
