IBM 32R1895 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 32R1895 is a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch module for the IBM BladeCenter chassis, providing managed switching between the blade servers installed in the chassis and the wider network. It includes a console management port, an uplink port, a USB port and a stacking port, with shared SFP/SFP+ slots for fibre or copper uplinks, and supports standard switch management features for configuring VLANs and monitoring traffic. The module installs into one of the BladeCenter chassis switch bays alongside the blade servers it serves, and is a common building block of BladeCenter network infrastructure from this generation. BladeCenter deployments of this era remain in service across a number of established data-centre environments, and genuine switch modules such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full chassis networking capacity or replacing a failed unit. Specifiers should confirm compatibility against their specific BladeCenter chassis model before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM BladeCenter components to support ongoing server and network maintenance. Please contact our sales team for current stock and pricing.
