The IBM 00Y7971 is a riser card providing a single PCIe x16 slot, position 1, in the System x3550 M4 server. A 1U chassis has no room for adapters standing upright, so the riser turns the slot through ninety degrees and lets a full card lie flat above the system board. That makes the riser a prerequisite for fitting any adapter in that position rather than an upgrade in itself, and a chassis bought without one cannot take the card it was intended for. IBM lists several interchangeable numbers for this assembly, including 94Y7588, 00D3423 and 00Y7946. Confirm which riser position you need before ordering, since the two positions in this server are not the same part. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
