IBM 16R1172: Gigabit SX Quad Port (QD8S) Ethernet daughter card for IBM BladeCenter.

The IBM 16R1172 is a Gigabit Ethernet daughter card for IBM’s BladeCenter family, a Quad Port Gigabit SX card (QD8S) giving a blade server four Gigabit Ethernet ports over short wave (SX, multimode) fibre. “HYDRA” appears to be an internal IBM engineering codename for this card generation rather than a marketed model name.

Quad-port Ethernet daughter cards of this kind let a single blade present more network ports than the chassis midplane’s built-in Ethernet switches alone would provide, useful for blades running multiple isolated networks or heavier traffic loads. This is a genuine pull from a decommissioned BladeCenter chassis. Confirm your exact BladeCenter model and blade type before ordering.
