IBM 09N9942 PCI 2P UIB Board with Daughter Board Attached

Product Description

The IBM 09N9942 is a specialized hardware component that serves as a Universal Interface Board (UIB) featuring two ports. This board is designed to integrate into IBM server systems via a PCI bus, providing a standardized interface for connecting various peripherals or network modules. The inclusion of an attached daughterboard suggests that this unit offers a specific or extended functionality beyond a basic UIB, likely tailored for particular I/O requirements within its intended IBM platform. This UIB with its daughterboard is crucial for systems that require flexible or specialized connectivity options. The PCI interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of IBM servers that utilize this bus architecture. The two ports on the UIB can be utilized for a variety of purposes depending on the specific daughterboard and the system's configuration, potentially including network connections, storage interfaces, or other data communication channels. As a component, the IBM 09N9942 is typically part of a larger system's expansion or configuration. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between the server's internal architecture and external devices or networks, offering a reliable and integrated solution. Proper identification and compatibility checks are essential when sourcing this part, as it is designed for specific IBM hardware environments.
