IBM 45W8086 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 45W8086 is recorded as an 8 Gbit/s four port short wave adapter. On an IBM enterprise storage system these cards provide the optical connections, and the record gives the three details that decide fit: an 8 Gbit/s link rate, four ports, and short wave multimode optics for runs inside the data centre. A long wave card of the same speed and port count is a different part. Tell us the machine type and model and we will confirm the adapter against your frame before quoting.

IBM’s enterprise disk systems, principally the DS8000 family under machine type 2107 and the DS6000 and DS4000 ranges before it, are built from a pair of POWER based processor complexes, host adapters facing the storage network, device adapters driving the disk enclosures behind them, and the drive modules themselves. Each of those is a field replaceable unit, and matched spares are how capacity and redundancy are restored after a failure.

Tell us the machine type and model this is going into and we will check the item we hold against it before quoting. Tech-Star is UK-based and ships worldwide. Contact our sales team for current stock, tested condition and pricing.
