IBM 93F0614 Operator Panel Adapter Card 110-25F8949-02 AS/400 Module

IBM 93F0614 Operator Panel Adapter Card 110-25F8949-02 AS/400 Module

The IBM 93F0614 is an Operator Panel Adapter Card used in IBM midrange and AS/400-era computer systems. This type of card interfaces the system's operator panel — the front-panel display and control assembly — with the main system bus, allowing the host processor to communicate status codes, IPL (Initial Program Load) progress, and control signals to the panel. The card is identified by manufacturer part number 93F0614 and board assembly number 110-25F8949-02, with an engineering change level of TGLK EC C25218.

Applications

Operator panel adapter cards like the IBM 93F0614 are used in IBM AS/400 (iSeries), System/36, System/38, and related IBM midrange server platforms from the late 1980s through the 1990s. These cards serve as the communication bridge between the system unit's main backplane and the front operator panel, transmitting SRC (System Reference Code) fault codes, IPL status indicators, and power/attention signals during system startup and operation. They are typically required when servicing, rebuilding, or restoring IBM midrange systems where the original panel interface card has failed or gone missing. Demand for these components comes primarily from businesses and institutions still operating legacy IBM midrange infrastructure, as well as collectors and resellers maintaining AS/400-era hardware.
