The IBM 45D3852 is a GX RIO-2 two-port loop adapter card, listed against machine type 9119-FHA, the Power 595. RIO-2 is the remote I/O loop that connects a system’s central electronics to its I/O drawers, and the adapter plugs into a GX bus slot rather than a standard PCI slot because it carries far more traffic than an adapter card does. The two ports form a loop so that drawers stay reachable if one path fails. Confirm the machine type and how many loops your configuration runs before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
