IBM 46K6872 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 46K6872 is a Central Electronics Complex (CEC) backplane, CCIN 27B7, carrying the internal engineering name “Khan”. CEC backplanes carry a Power Systems server’s core processor and memory interconnect, distinct from the I/O or media backplanes elsewhere in the same chassis. They are the central replaceable unit engineers reach for when a system’s core processor complex develops a fault that is not isolated to a single processor or memory card. Tech-Star tests this unit before listing and ships from UK stock worldwide. CEC backplanes are matched precisely to the chassis and processor generation they were built for, so check CCIN 27B7 compatibility against your system’s parts documentation before ordering.
