Product Description
IBM EJUY Cover and Doors for 16 NVMe-bays Backplane – Desk-side
The IBM EJUY is a complete cosmetic cover and door kit specifically designed for IBM Power Systems servers equipped with the 16-bay NVMe U.2 backplane (such as #EJ1U or compatible high-density NVMe configurations). This desk-side oriented assembly includes the front bezel door, side covers, top cover, and all mounting hardware, providing a clean, professional appearance while protecting internal NVMe drives from dust, accidental contact, and environmental factors in office, lab, or non-rack environments.
Product Description
The IBM EJUY (feature code EJUY) is the official front door, cover, and bezel set for Power Systems servers with 16 × U.2 NVMe bay backplanes (primarily Power10 scale-out models such as S1022/S1024 and select configurations). It consists of:
- Lockable front door/bezel with ventilation slots and drive status viewing window
- Left and right side covers for the backplane area
- Top cover for complete enclosure
- All required hinges, latches, mounting hardware, and alignment pins
The kit ensures proper airflow for the 16 NVMe U.2 drives, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and physical security while allowing easy front access for hot-plug drive replacement. The EJUY is fully IBM-qualified for aesthetic consistency, thermal performance, and serviceability in desk-side or tower-like Power10 deployments, making it essential for office, development, or small-scale production environments running AIX, IBM i (iSeries/AS/400), Linux, and VIOS where appearance, dust protection, and drive security are important.
