IBM lists Models 515, 520+, 525 and 550+, so on the 520 and 550 it belongs to the POWER5+ units. IBM writes '520+' without a machine type, so both 520 types are listed. #9510 is the no-charge version for Express configurations with RAID. #5728 is the similar card for the 570+, and #5709 is the older 16 MB card it replaces.
Before you order 5727
The drive bay and controller setup decides how many drives the server can hold and how they are protected. Changing it usually means planning downtime, so check it against your machine type first.
