IBM 46K3938 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

IBM 46K3938 is a genuine IBM part number, held by Tech-Star in our server hardware and parts range. The supplier record for it reads AVERY, which is IBM internal shorthand: development codenames and card codes that were used inside IBM’s own systems and never published. We can pass that on but we cannot responsibly turn it into a specification, so the function of this unit stays unconfirmed on our record.

IBM builds its large frame systems, the System z mainframes and the high end Power servers that share their packaging, around a bulk power subsystem rather than around individual power supplies. Mains comes in at the bulk power enclosure, is regulated and controlled there, and is distributed through the frame to converter assemblies at each book and drawer. Blowers, motor drive assemblies and, on the liquid cooled models, refrigeration or water cooling units hold the processor complex in its thermal envelope. Every one of those is a field replaceable unit.
