IBM - 1722-60U - IBM DS4300 (FAStT600) Storage Controller

The IBM 1722-60U storage controller is designed for the IBM DS4300 (FAStT600) storage system, providing the control-plane and connectivity required to operate and expand a DS4300-class Fibre Channel storage environment. It is a practical replacement part for restoring array availability or keeping an installed base running longer in data center and enterprise storage deployments.

When maintaining DS4300 infrastructure, this controller is typically sourced alongside complementary platform components such as SYSTEM BOARD and upgrade parts like MEMORY to help keep hardware configurations consistent across shelves and controllers. For environments that also integrate host-side storage options, related RAID CONTROLLER hardware may be used elsewhere in the stack to align redundancy and management practices.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics of the IBM 1722-60U controller for DS4300/FAStT600 deployments include:

• IBM DS4300 (FAStT600) storage controller FRU (1722-60U) to replace or standardise controller hardware in DS4300 arrays.
• Compatibility with IBM DS4300 / FAStT600 storage system families to support maintenance of existing midrange Fibre Channel SAN storage installations.
• Controller module form factor intended for DS4300 chassis integration to enable service replacement procedures without redesigning the storage environment.
• Designed for enterprise storage controller roles to manage LUN presentation, array configuration and day-to-day storage operations.
• Fibre Channel SAN-oriented controller platform to fit common DS4300 deployments connecting to FC switches and host bus adapters.
• Support for typical array availability features (controller redundancy and failover depend on system configuration) to help maintain service continuity in production storage.
• Integration with DS4300 management and monitoring workflows to assist with ongoing operations, alerting and maintenance planning.
• Built for continuous 24/7 operation in data center environments to support business-critical storage workloads.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished controllers are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of DS4300/FAStT600 installations, reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new replacement platforms.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark.
