IBM 43V7073 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 43V7073 is a genuine IBM PCB (planar board) Ethernet daughter card for the System x3650 M3 server, providing dual-port 1Gb network connectivity, as stated directly in IBM’s own part description. The x3650 M3 was a widely-deployed 2U rack server in IBM’s System x range, and this daughter card fits the server’s dedicated network expansion connector to add a second pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports beyond the server’s onboard NICs, commonly used for network segregation, management-network isolation or link aggregation. x3650 M3 servers remain in service at many sites still running that generation of virtualisation or application hosts, and a genuine replacement daughter card is the standard fix for a faulted onboard network expansion path or when adding network capacity to an existing server without consuming a full PCIe slot. Buyers should confirm their specific x3650 M3 system-board revision before ordering. Tech-Star is UK-based and ships worldwide.
