The IBM 41L5233 is a 2-Port Multiprotocol PCI adapter for RS/6000 and pSeries systems, closely related to FRU 41L5235 from the same part-number family. The adapter provides two independent WAN-capable serial ports supporting X.21, V.35, RS-232 and RS-449 interfaces at speeds up to 1.544Mbps over HDLC, connecting externally via a CSU/DSU or a synchronous modem, and was IBM’s standard way of giving an RS/6000 or pSeries server dedicated wide-area network connectivity before Ethernet-based WAN links became the default. It fits the PCI slot of the host system and is configured through AIX’s own multiprotocol adapter support. Confirm the exact host machine type before ordering, since PCI slot and driver support varies by system generation. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) holds IBM RS/6000 and pSeries adapters for server maintenance and expansion projects. Please contact our sales team for availability and pricing.
