The IBM 74Y3655 is an I/O backplane, CCIN 2BB9, fitted to IBM’s Power 770 (9117-MMB) POWER7 server, alongside sibling parts 74Y3654, 74Y3656 and 74Y3658. It carries the PCIe slots and their power/signal distribution within the I/O section of the chassis, providing 6x PCIe x8 slots on the closely related 74Y3654 variant. Power 770 hardware of this generation remains in active enterprise service, and a genuine spare I/O backplane such as this one is a routine requirement for restoring PCIe expansion capacity after a backplane fault. Specifiers should confirm the exact machine type and model before ordering, since Power7-era I/O backplanes are not interchangeable across chassis sizes. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM Power Systems components to support ongoing server maintenance projects. Please contact our sales team for current availability and pricing.
