IBM - 00AE739 - HS23 System board type1 E5-2600 series

IBM 00AE739 HS23 System Board (Type 1) for E5-2600 Series

The IBM 00AE739 (HS23 System Board Type 1) is a replacement motherboard designed for IBM BladeCenter HS23 blade servers built on Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors. As the core platform inside the blade, it provides the CPU socket and memory-channel architecture, plus the internal connectivity required to interface with the blade chassis backplane and I/O options.

This part is typically used for break/fix maintenance and lifecycle extension of existing blade estates where keeping identical hardware revisions matters for operational consistency. For additional platform components and spares, you can browse related IBM infrastructure parts to standardise builds across multiple chassis and sites.

When restoring an HS23 node to service, the system board is commonly paired with performance and storage components such as a matching RAID CONTROLLER, additional MEMORY, and enterprise SSD options to align with your established configuration baselines.

Key Features

Use the points below to validate fit and intended use during quoting and compatibility checks.
