The IBM 46K7938 is an I/O backplane, CCIN 293B, for the IBM Power 570 (9117-MMA) and 8234-EMA POWER6 server families. The backplane carries the system’s integrated I/O connectivity and the interconnect logic linking the processor books to the I/O subsystem, and a fault here can affect I/O availability across the whole central electronics complex rather than a single adapter. Power 570 and related POWER6 systems remain in service across a number of established enterprise data-centre deployments running AIX, IBM i and Linux workloads, and a genuine, correctly matched I/O backplane is essential when restoring a system after a backplane-level fault. Specifiers should confirm the CCIN matches their exact system configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies the 46K7938 for engineers maintaining Power 570 and 8234-EMA systems.
