4-core, 4.2GHz POWER6 processor backplane with fitted processor, sibling of 10N9997. Ships worldwide.
The IBM 46K6687 is a 4-core, 4.2GHz POWER6 processor backplane, shipping with its processor fitted rather than as a bare board, and closely related to the sibling 10N9997 part number for the same configuration. It is a higher core-density option than the 2-core cards used elsewhere in the same processor-backplane family, aimed at Power Systems configurations needing more parallel processing headroom within a single backplane. POWER6 systems using backplanes of this class ran AIX, IBM i and Linux production workloads through the mid-to-late 2000s, and units like this remain in demand to repair or extend existing installations. Tech-Star ships from UK stock worldwide. Confirm your system is configured for a 4-core, 4.2GHz processor backplane before ordering, since POWER6 backplanes vary by core count and are not interchangeable within the same chassis family.
