IBM 73Y8773 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

IBM 73Y8773 is a mechanical assembly on our supplier record, noted as MECH ASM. Beyond the fact that it is structural hardware rather than a card, the record gives nothing: no machine type, no position in the frame, no function. Mechanical parts are shaped around a specific enclosure, which makes physical verification the only sensible way to match one.

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.

Let us know which IBM system this is destined for and we will verify the unit in stock against your requirement first. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) sources and supplies IBM hardware to order. Get in touch with our sales team for availability and a price.
