The IBM 97P6644 is a CEC I/O backplane assembly, CCIN 28DA, fitted to the 9117-570 pSeries (Power5 570) central electronics complex. It carries six PCI-X slots and provides the physical connection point between the system’s processor drawer and its I/O adapters, so a fault here can take an entire bank of PCI-X slots offline until the board is replaced. The 9117-570 is a rack-mounted, modular RISC System/6000-derived server built to be expanded drawer by drawer, and the I/O backplane is one of the field replaceable units engineers swap directly. Alternative part numbers for this same assembly include 10N9778, 39J0202 and 42R5104, which is normal for a board reissued under IBM’s parts programme over its service life. Confirm the exact machine type and model before ordering, since backplane revisions are not universally interchangeable across the 570 family.
