IBM 41U9732 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 41U9732 is a distributed converter assembly, recorded on our supplier data as PU DCA-P7. A DCA is the point of load power stage inside an IBM frame: bulk power is regulated once for the whole machine and each DCA then converts it to the voltages a specific assembly needs. This one is marked against a processor unit and against P7, IBM’s POWER7 generation. Converter assemblies are tied closely to the drawer and machine type they were designed for, so the machine type and model are worth confirming before you order.

IBM’s POWER servers have carried several names over the years, RS/6000, pSeries, iSeries, System p, System i and Power Systems, but they are maintained the same way. A drawer or frame holds processor and memory assemblies, a service processor that brings the machine up and watches over it, adapter cards in PCI or PCIe slots, and its own power and cooling. Each is a field replaceable unit identified by a feature code as well as a part number.

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.
