IBM 95Y5690 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 95Y5690 is an oscillator card on our supplier record. The oscillator supplies the master clock for an IBM mainframe, feeding the processor complex and the I/O subsystem, and mainframes are fitted with a redundant pair so that the loss of one card is a repair rather than an outage. These cards belong to a specific machine generation and are not interchangeable across the range. Tell us the machine type and model and we will check the card we hold against it.

IBM builds its large frame systems, the System z mainframes and the high end Power servers that share their packaging, around a bulk power subsystem rather than around individual power supplies. Mains comes in at the bulk power enclosure, is regulated and controlled there, and is distributed through the frame to converter assemblies at each book and drawer. Blowers, motor drive assemblies and, on the liquid cooled models, refrigeration or water cooling units hold the processor complex in its thermal envelope. Every one of those is a field replaceable unit.

Tell us the machine type and model this is going into and we will check the item we hold against it before quoting. Tech-Star is UK-based and ships worldwide. Contact our sales team for current stock, tested condition and pricing.
