Condition: Complete overall, with one noted defect.
Status: Untested — I do not have the chassis required to verify functionality.
Connector note: The rightmost SBUS card‑edge socket has a visible dent approximately 1 cm from the left end. The plastic housing is deformed in that area; see photos for detail.

Form factor: Eurocard‑style vertical mount with DIN connectors.
Use case: Suitable for restoration projects, parts harvesting, or repair by someone equipped to replace the SBUS Matches systems requiring FRU 501‑4883‑03; please confirm with your chassis documentation.

🧡 Collector Notes
This FRU is one of the less common I/O backplane modules from the mid‑90s Sun workstation/server era. Boards like this often go missing when systems are parted out, making them valuable for anyone restoring a chassis to period‑correct configuration. The original Sun ASICs and intact FRU labeling make it a solid candidate for collectors who appreciate completeness and authenticity, with the connector damage reflected in the price.BONUS clear plastic heatsink airflow deflector shield, P/N 330-2304-01,
