The IBM 98Y4901 is a four-port 8Gb Fibre Channel host adapter card, shortwave, used for host connectivity on DS8000 series storage. Shortwave optics run over multimode fibre, which suits the distances inside a data centre, while longwave cards are used where the link leaves the building. Host adapters face the servers rather than the drives, and a DS8000 carries several so that paths can be spread across enclosures and fabrics. It is frequently paired with part 98Y4899. Confirm the storage model and the optics your fabric uses before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
