The IBM 80P2780 is an Ultra320 SCSI 4-pack disk drive backplane, CCIN 28D2, feature code 6574. It provides four hot-swap Ultra320 SCSI drive bays with the wiring and connectors needed to present each bay to the system’s SCSI controller, fitted to pSeries systems including the 7038-6X3 and 9111-520. This is a mechanical/electrical carrier rather than a controller in its own right, and it is installed as a unit rather than repaired, so a failed backplane is normally replaced whole. Genuine backplanes of this kind are a routine requirement for restoring full internal disk capacity, adding drive bays to an existing chassis, or replacing a backplane damaged during a drive swap. Specifiers should confirm the exact chassis model and bay count against their own system configuration before ordering, since IBM shipped more than one backplane variant across the pSeries range.
