The IBM 45W8229 is an 800W hot-swappable power supply used in IBM’s EXP24S (FC5887), EXP2512 and EXP2524 disk expansion enclosures and in the Storwize V3500, V3700 and V5000 storage systems, accepting a wide 100-240V AC input range. It supplies the regulated DC power the enclosure’s SAS controllers and disk drives need, and is fitted in a redundant pair so the enclosure keeps running if one supply fails. These enclosures remain widely deployed in mid-range enterprise storage estates, and a genuine spare PSU is a routine requirement for restoring redundancy or replacing a failed unit without downtime. Specifiers should confirm the exact host enclosure model before ordering, since the same physical unit is shared across several enclosure families. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM storage components to support ongoing maintenance projects.
