The IBM 42R8736 is a PCI-X DDR Dual-Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter. The card provides two independent Ultra320 SCSI channels over a PCI-X DDR bus interface, letting an IBM Power Systems or iSeries host attach internal or external SCSI disk and tape devices at up to 320MB/s per channel using low-voltage differential (LVD) signalling. It is closely related to the sibling PCI-X DDR SCSI RAID adapters (42R8739, 42R4855), sharing the same card family but without the onboard RAID enablement daughter card fitted to those parts. Cards of this generation remain a routine spare for systems still running SCSI-attached storage rather than SAS or Fibre Channel, where a genuine replacement restores full original I/O capacity after a component failure. Specifiers should confirm exact SCSI channel and connector compatibility against their specific host system before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM components to support ongoing server maintenance projects.
