IBM 22R4913 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 22R4913 is recorded as a host adapter in a long wave form. Host adapters are the storage frame’s connection to the fabric, carrying the Fibre Channel or FICON ports that servers use to reach the disk. Long wave optics are the single mode variant, intended for the longer runs between buildings or across a campus, where short wave multimode optics would not reach. Wavelength, port count and link speed all have to match the cabling and switches in place. Tell us the machine type and model and we will confirm the card we hold.

Enterprise storage frames from IBM are serviced component by component. Host adapters carry the Fibre Channel or FICON connections out to the fabric, device adapters drive the disk enclosures, and disk drive modules populate those enclosures. Port count, link speed and optical wavelength all have to match the frame and the cabling already installed, so the specific card matters more than the general description.
