IBM 95Y5475 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 95Y5475 is recorded as an oscillator card. A System z mainframe runs from a common clock, and the oscillator cards are what generate it and distribute it to the processor books and the I/O subsystem. Machines carry two so that the clock survives a card failure, and it is that pair which allows a card to be replaced without stopping the system. Oscillator cards are tied to the machine generation. Confirm the machine type and model with us before ordering.

Machines of this class are maintained at field replaceable unit level. A frame holds a central electronics complex of processor books and memory, I/O drawers carrying the channel and network adapters, a bulk power subsystem and its own cooling. Engineers replace the failing unit rather than the machine, which is why individual assemblies from the z9, z10, z196 and zEC12 generations and their equivalent Power frames still trade actively years after those systems shipped.

Let us know which IBM system this is destined for and we will verify the unit in stock against your requirement first. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) sources and supplies IBM hardware to order. Get in touch with our sales team for availability and a price.
