IBM 00DD961 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 00DD961 is an IBM Z mainframe drawer-family FRU, recorded under the internal designation PBK DRAWER 41PU_1 C07E L15, with the same @Z zSeries record prefix as its sibling part 00DD962, differing only in the trailing _1 position code where 00DD962 carries _2. This strongly suggests the two part numbers are a matched pair, most likely the two halves or two positions of a single processor/power book drawer assembly at the same cage location (C07E) and level (L15). As with its sibling, IBM does not publish a plain-language decode of this internal string, so this listing confirms only the drawer-family classification rather than inventing a specific model or function. IBM Z drawer assemblies are precision, safety-critical FRUs tied to a specific frame configuration, and exact fit should always be confirmed against the customer’s own service documentation and IBM’s CE before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) sources genuine IBM Z hardware and can help verify compatibility.
