IBM 9406-2843 – PCI Combined Function IOP

Detailed Description:

The IBM 9406-2843 model is a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Combined Function I/O Processor (IOP) designed to provide flexible, high-performance I/O processing capabilities for IBM Power Systems and AS/400 servers. This component integrates multiple I/O functions onto a single card, reducing the physical space required for I/O processing and streamlining system architecture. It supports a wide range of I/O devices and interfaces, enabling the server to connect with various peripherals, such as disk drives, tape drives, and network interfaces, facilitating a versatile and expandable server setup. The combined function IOP is engineered to offload I/O processing tasks from the main server processor, enhancing overall system performance and efficiency. It is an ideal solution for businesses looking to upgrade their server I/O capabilities, improve system utilization, and ensure smooth and reliable operation across diverse computing environments.
