The IBM 45W9893 is a SAS disk expansion enclosure controller (environmental service module) for the IBM FC5887 24-bay SFF disk drawer, also catalogued as 74Y9480 and 00J0278. It manages the SAS connectivity, power sequencing and environmental monitoring for the drives fitted in the expansion drawer, and is normally fitted in a redundant pair for continued operation if one controller fails. FC5887 expansion drawers of this generation remain in service attaching additional SFF disk capacity to IBM Power Systems and storage controllers already using the same drawer family. Specifiers should confirm the exact host system and drawer revision before ordering, as ESM firmware and connector layout have changed across FC5887 hardware revisions. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM storage components to support ongoing capacity and redundancy projects.
