The IBM 45D8609 is an original IBM component with the internal designation QZ2B LVL44.
Machines of this class are maintained at field replaceable unit level. A frame holds a central electronics complex of processor books and memory, I/O drawers carrying the channel and network adapters, a bulk power subsystem and its own cooling. Engineers replace the failing unit rather than the machine, which is why individual assemblies from the z9, z10, z196 and zEC12 generations and their equivalent Power frames still trade actively years after those systems shipped.
Tech-Star, UK-based and shipping worldwide, holds IBM equipment for data centre maintenance work.
