The IBM 98Y4889 is a two-port SAS I/O controller card, CCIN 636C, for the DS8000 series and listed for the DS8700 and DS8800. This is the storage side of the system rather than the host side: it drives the SAS connections down to the drive enclosures, so a failure costs a path to the disks rather than a path to the servers. Cards of this kind are installed in pairs so that every enclosure remains reachable, and the sibling part 98Y4888 appears alongside it. Confirm the storage model and which position you are replacing before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies IBM components for ongoing maintenance projects.
