The IBM 44P2550 (NPH HE P/S DCA 2422 WATTS) is a Distributed Converter Assembly (DCA) power module rated at 2422 watts, in the NPH (Node Power Hub, a term IBM uses on its higher-end Power Systems frames) HE (high-efficiency) family. DCAs of this type sit downstream of a frame’s Bulk Power Assembly, converting the distributed DC bus down to the specific voltage and current a processor book, I/O drawer or node requires, with each DCA variant tuned to a particular load. The 2422W rating marks this as a higher-capacity unit than the smaller 575W-class DCA modules. Genuine DCA spares of this rating are needed to restore N+1 power redundancy after a failure in the higher-end frame this component serves. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM Power Systems power components to support ongoing frame maintenance.
