IBM Power6 CD/DVD Drives & Optical Media – SATA Slimline Drives
Discover reliable CD/DVD optical drives compatible with IBM Power6 systems. These slimline SATA DVD-RAM and DVD-ROM drives support boot, installation, diagnostics, firmware updates, and data transfer using standard CD-ROM, DVD, and DVD-RAM media. Essential for Power6 servers in AIX, IBM i, or Linux environments requiring internal optical access.
Why Choose IBM Power6 Optical Drives?
IBM Power6 systems (e.g., 9117-MMA/MMB, 9407-M15, 9408-M25, 9409-M50, System p5 models upgraded to Power6 processors like 550/560/570/575/590/595) use slimline SATA optical drives for critical tasks such as OS installation, recovery media, backups, and diagnostics. These drives read/write DVD-RAM (4.7GB), read Type II DVD-RAM (removable cartridge), and support CD-ROM/DVD media. Feature codes like 5762 and 5771 ensure IBM compatibility, with SATA interface for integration into Power6 media bays or enclosures. Bootable media support is available across supported OS versions.
Available IBM Power6 CD/DVD & Optical Drives
- IBM 5771 SATA Slimline DVD-RAM Drive Feature Code: 5771 Internal slimline SATA DVD-RAM drive (12.7mm height). Reads and writes 4.7GB DVD-RAM discs; reads Type II DVD-RAM (removable from cartridge); supports CD-ROM, DVD, and other optical media for boot/install functions. Tray-loading design suitable for Power6 media bays.
- IBM 5762 SATA Slimline DVD-RAM Drive Feature Code: 5762 Multifunction slimline SATA DVD-RAM drive. Reads CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW; writes 4.7GB DVD-RAM discs; reads Type II DVD-RAM. Supports bootable media and general data access on Power6 systems.
- IBM 5743 SATA Slimline DVD-ROM Drive Feature Code: Not specified (DVD-ROM variant) Internal tray-loading slimline SATA DVD-ROM drive. Reads DVD-ROM and CD-ROM media at up to 10.3MB/sec (DVD) and 3600KB/sec (CD). Read-only optical solution for installation, recovery, and media access on Power6 configurations.
Note: Power6 systems typically support these drives in internal media bays or via backplane options. External USB DVD drives or virtual media (via HMC/VIOS in later configurations) may also be used as alternatives, but internal slimline SATA drives like 5762/5771 are standard for direct system integration.
