IBM 97P3138: 6-slot SCSI drive cage and backplane (feature 6429/5095) for IBM pSeries systems, a drive cage rather than a controller card.

The IBM 97P3138 is a 6-slot SCSI drive cage and backplane, built for feature codes 6429 and 5095. It is a physical disk cage and backplane board rather than an Ultra320 SCSI controller card; Ultra320 SCSI is the bus the backplane carries. The cage holds up to six hot-swap drives and the backplane distributes power and the SCSI bus to each bay, so a fault here can affect every drive in the cage rather than a single disk.

Drive cages of this kind are tied to the specific I/O drawer or system enclosure they were built for, so confirm the exact machine type and model before ordering. IBM equipment of this generation remains in service across many established data-centre deployments.
