The IBM 98Y9535 is a DS8870 battery module kit: one primary battery module plus three secondary battery modules, the complete matched set IBM specifies as a single field-replaceable unit for the DS8870 (and later DS8880) enterprise storage system.
The battery set exists to hold up the DS8870’s cache and internal system state during a power event, giving the array time to flush unwritten data safely rather than lose it, so the four modules are always replaced together as a matched set rather than individually.
Tech-Star, UK-based and shipping worldwide, supplies this IBM battery kit for DS8870 and DS8880 maintenance. Get in touch with our sales team for availability and a price.
