The IBM 45W0397 is a genuine IBM media cage component, with a part number that sits alongside other DS8000 cage and drive hardware. Media cages of this kind carry removable-media devices such as tape or optical drives in a fixed mechanical position inside a server or storage enclosure, distinct from the disk-drive HDD cages used for the main storage array. Genuine spares of this type are a routine requirement when a cage is damaged during a media-drive swap, or when restoring an enclosure to its original configuration. Specifiers should check compatibility against their own system’s parts list or an IBM configurator before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM server components and can help with fitment on request.
