IBM 7212 Storage Device Enclosure


The IBM 7212 Storage Device Enclosure is a compact storage solution designed for space conscious environments. When cabling space and server storage bays are limited, the IBM 7212 is a terrific solution for either rack-mount or limited-space desktop applications.

The IBM System Storage 7212 connects to IBM System i and System p workstations and servers. It can be configured for one EIA unit of a standard 19-inch server rack or as a low-profile desktop solution. The 7212 offers storage device options for 4mm and ΒΌ inch (QIC) tape drive formats.
