IBM 45D8750 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 45D8750 is recorded as a logic card from a FICON Express feature, carrying IBM feature code 3326. FICON, short for Fibre Connection, is the channel protocol a System z mainframe uses to reach its disk and tape storage over fibre channel optics, and a FICON Express feature is built from a logic card plus its optical hardware. Because this is the logic portion rather than a complete feature, the machine generation and the feature it belongs to both matter. Tell us the machine type and the feature code you are matching and we will confirm what we hold.

Machines of this class are maintained at field replaceable unit level. A frame holds a central electronics complex of processor books and memory, I/O drawers carrying the channel and network adapters, a bulk power subsystem and its own cooling. Engineers replace the failing unit rather than the machine, which is why individual assemblies from the z9, z10, z196 and zEC12 generations and their equivalent Power frames still trade actively years after those systems shipped.

If you can give us the machine type and model, or the feature code you are matching, we will confirm what we hold before you commit. Tech-Star is UK-based and ships worldwide. Contact our sales team for stock, condition details and pricing on this IBM part.
