The IBM 80P6381 is a 28EC system backplane for the IBM eServer p5/OpenPower 550 (9113-550) and OpenPower 720 systems, the same 28EC CCIN family as the IBM 80P6700 and 80P5530 backplanes elsewhere in our range. It forms the core of the system unit, providing the sockets that the processor DCM cards, memory risers and I/O connections plug into, and is fitted as a complete backplane replacement rather than a component-level repair.
The p550/9113-550 and OpenPower 720 remain in service in a number of established Unix/AIX and OpenPower Linux environments, and a 28EC backplane is a significant repair for restoring a system after a backplane-level fault. Confirm your exact system model and existing CCIN before ordering.
