The IBM 44V4854 is an x8 PCIe SAS adapter combined with a cable card in a single cassette, supplied under feature code 5911 for the 9117-MMA, and used to provide the internal split DASD option. Splitting the backplane divides the internal drive bays into two independent groups, three and three, so that each group can be owned by a different partition or controller rather than the whole backplane belonging to one. The adapter and cable card ship together because the split depends on both. Confirm the machine type and the backplane configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
