IBM 7133-D40 05J7949 SSA Disk Storage Cabinet 16-Bay 100-240V For Parts

IBM 7133-D40 05J7949 SSA Disk Storage Cabinet 16-Bay 100-240V For Parts

The IBM 7133-D40 is a rackmount Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) disk storage cabinet designed to expand storage capacity for IBM midrange systems. This 16-bay enclosure houses SSA-interface hard drive modules in a rack-mounted chassis and connects to host systems via SSA loop cabling. This unit is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair — the front operator panel display and power switch are broken, and the unit has not been powered or tested.

• Sold AS-IS for parts or repair — not powered or IBM 7133 SSA Disk Storage Cabinet was designed as an external storage expansion unit for IBM midrange and enterprise systems, including the AS/400 (iSeries), RS/6000 (pSeries), and compatible SSA-capable hosts. Serial Storage Architecture was an IBM-developed high-speed disk interconnect standard introduced in the mid-1990s, offering loop-based redundancy and hot-swap capability that made it well-suited for mission-critical environments. The 7133 series served as the primary external disk shelf for AS/400 installations throughout the late 1990s and into the 2000s, often deployed in finance, manufacturing, and government data centers running OS/400. Today, units like this are primarily of interest as a source of parts — including power supplies, fans, backplanes, and drive carriers — for maintaining other 7133-series enclosures still in service with legacy AS/400 or iSeries systems.
  Condition: For Parts or Not Working
  This IBM 7133-D40 SSA Disk Storage Cabinet is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The front operator panel display and power switch are both broken. The unit has not been powered or tested and is not guaranteed functional. It does include two 09L4299 power supplies and three Torin 2-speed 60W cooling fans, which may be useful for parts. Drive modules visible in the photos are present in the enclosure. The cabinet shows general surface wear consistent with data center use, including scuffing on the top cover and minor marks on the chassis.
