IBM - 25K9560 - x236 670W Power Supply - 74P4456

The IBM 25K9560 is a 670W server power supply (FRU 74P4456) designed for IBM xSeries systems, providing stable power delivery for continuous operation in rack environments. It’s a practical spare for maintaining uptime during PSU failures or planned maintenance, and a common choice when keeping legacy IBM server platforms in service.

In IBM server upgrades, PSU sizing is often considered alongside platform components such as CPU and MEMORY. For full chassis builds and refresh projects, it is typically deployed within an RACK SERVER configuration where predictable power behaviour and serviceability matter.

This refurbished unit is cleaned and tested before entering stock, making it suitable for service providers and IT teams that need dependable replacement parts for installed IBM infrastructure. It supports a straightforward swap to restore power redundancy or replace a failed module, depending on the server configuration.
