The IBM 80P4179 is a media backplane board, the same class of assembly as the IBM 97P4165 media backplane used in the 9111-520 pSeries server, providing the internal wiring that connects a system’s optical drive and tape drive bay to its onboard controller.
Media backplanes of this kind are typically replaced as a complete assembly when a media bay stops being recognised by the system, rather than repaired at component level.
