IBM - 10N9995 - 4.2ghz 2 core POWER6 Processor Card

IBM 10N9995 POWER6 4.2GHz 2-Core Processor Card

The IBM 10N9995 is a POWER6 processor card with a 4.2GHz, 2-core CPU, built for IBM Power Systems environments that require POWER6-generation compute for maintenance, spares, or controlled upgrades. It is typically used to replace a failed CPU card or to keep performance and hardware generation consistent across an installed POWER6 server estate.

For platform-level planning, this CPU option is commonly validated alongside capacity-matched MEMORY and storage options such as SSD, depending on your chassis configuration, firmware level, and workload profile. If your system uses internal disk arrays, it is also good practice to confirm alignment with your existing RAID CONTROLLER and backplane to avoid service-window surprises.

As a refurbished spare part from Direct Hardware Supply, the 10N9995 supports predictable interoperability for professional IT teams maintaining legacy IBM POWER6 infrastructure in data centers and back-office environments.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics and deployment considerations for the IBM 10N9995 processor card:

• POWER6 processor card with 4.2GHz clock speed and 2 CPU cores to maintain POWER6-era compute performance where required.
• IBM FRU/part number 10N9995 to match approved replacement part lists and simplify maintenance workflows.
• Compatibility with IBM Power Systems using POWER6 processor cards, including selected IBM System p / Power Systems POWER6 families, to support lifecycle extension without platform changes.
• Processor card form factor designed for in-chassis CPU replacement/expansion to reduce downtime compared to full system replacement.
• Designed for environments that must keep POWER6 hardware generation consistent to support existing OS/application qualification requirements.
• Suitable for 24/7 enterprise operation characteristics typical of IBM Power server components to support continuous service delivery.
• Best deployed with matching system firmware/microcode levels and platform configuration rules to reduce compatibility risk during upgrades.
• Spare CPU card strategy support to restore failed capacity quickly and keep legacy Power estates operational.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This processor card is refurbished hardware. Units are cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects and provide a practical option for maintaining existing infrastructure.

Refurbished parts can extend the lifecycle of established environments, help reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new replacement platforms. All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty), and extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier shipping worldwide from Denmark, with dedicated sourcing for IBM enterprise hardware and spares.
