IBM 74Y2754 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 74Y2754 is an 8-slot POWER7 DDR3 memory riser card, part of the FC 5604 riser family also carrying the part numbers 74Y3278, 74Y3424 and 46K7514. It plugs into the memory subsystem of 5604-compatible Power7 systems (the 820X-class chassis, including 9117-MMB and 9179-MHB Power 770/780 servers) and provides eight additional DIMM slots, letting engineers expand installed memory well beyond the base planar’s capacity or restore full capacity after a riser failure. POWER7 systems of this generation remain widely deployed across enterprise data centres running AIX, IBM i and Linux workloads, and genuine risers such as this one are routinely required when adding memory, replacing a faulty riser, or rebuilding a system to its original configuration. Specifiers should confirm the exact host chassis and DIMM population rules before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies the 74Y2754 for engineers maintaining Power7 server memory capacity.
