What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
6741A1F is what is quoted and 6741A1F is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 6741A1F genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the IBM warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will 6741A1F work in my server?
Tell us the library, the backup software version and the oldest cartridge generation you still need to read. Tape reads back further than it writes, and the software support matrix matters as much as the hardware.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
