The IBM 74Y5032 is a 6-slot SAS SFF DASD/media backplane, CCIN 2BBE, alongside its sibling part 74Y5031, the disk and media bay backplane fitted to IBM’s 9117-MMB Power 770 pSeries/RS6000 chassis. It provides the SAS connectivity for up to six small-form-factor drive bays plus an integrated media slot, sitting behind the front drive cage and carrying power and data to each installed disk. Power 770 hardware of this generation remains in service across established enterprise deployments, and a genuine spare backplane such as this one is a routine requirement when restoring a chassis to full drive capacity after a backplane fault or when reconfiguring a system’s storage bays. Specifiers should confirm the exact machine type and model, and the number of drive bays already populated, before ordering, since Power7-era backplanes are not interchangeable across chassis sizes. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM Power Systems components to support ongoing server and storage maintenance projects.
