IBM - 00AM409 - X3550M4 Systemboard

IBM 00AM409 X3550 M4 Systemboard (Refurbished)

The IBM 00AM409 X3550 M4 systemboard is a replacement motherboard for IBM System x rack server maintenance and break/fix scenarios. It provides the platform connectivity required for CPU installation, memory-channel operation, onboard controllers and internal I/O to function correctly within the x3550 M4 architecture—helping you return an existing server to service with a like-for-like board swap.

For complete repairs or planned lifecycle extensions, the systemboard is typically deployed alongside compatible MEMORY and storage components such as SSD. Depending on your configuration, it can also be paired with an appropriate RAID CONTROLLER to support your existing drive layout and data-protection requirements.

As part of our wider IBM spare parts inventory, this refurbished board is well suited for data centers, labs, system integrators and maintenance providers who need consistent hardware for installed base support.
