Product Description
IBM ADBA SAS Expansion Enclosure Attach Card (Pair)
The IBM ADBA is a pair of 12 Gbps SAS expansion enclosure attachment adapter cards designed for the IBM FlashSystem 7300 control enclosure.
Product Description
The IBM ADBA (feature code ADBA) provides two 4-port 12 Gbps SAS expansion enclosure attachment adapters for the IBM FlashSystem 7300 (machine type 4657 models 924 and U7D).
