IBM 22R6207 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 22R6207 is recorded as a four port short wave adapter. In an IBM storage frame the adapters of this type provide the optical ports that either face the servers or drive the disk enclosures, and short wave denotes multimode optics for the shorter runs inside a data centre. What the record does not state is the link speed or which side of the frame the card serves, and both matter when matching a spare. Tell us the machine type and model, or send a photograph of the card you are replacing, and we will confirm the match.

Enterprise storage frames from IBM are serviced component by component. Host adapters carry the Fibre Channel or FICON connections out to the fabric, device adapters drive the disk enclosures, and disk drive modules populate those enclosures. Port count, link speed and optical wavelength all have to match the frame and the cabling already installed, so the specific card matters more than the general description.

Send us the machine type, or a photograph of the label on the part you are replacing, and we will confirm the match before anything ships. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM hardware for maintenance and expansion projects. Please contact our sales team for availability, condition and pricing.
