Refurbished Intel Xeon processor in anti-static packaging

IBM Refurbished

IBM 69Y5674 Xeon E5-2609 switch module

SKU CH-XY27-BN716 MPN 69Y5674

Refurbished Xeon quad-core processor for the X3550 M4 server

  • Quad-core Xeon delivers steady multi-thread throughput
  • 4 GHz base clock handles everyday server workloads
  • 10 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency for frequent data
  • 80 W TDP keeps power draw predictable in dense racks

Processor for X3550 M4 servers

This refurbished Xeon quad-core processor operates at 2.4 GHz with 10 MB L3 cache and a 6.4 GT/s QPI link. It uses the FCLGA2011 socket on a 32 nm process and is validated specifically for the IBM System x3550 M4 platform. Buyers needing higher core counts or different socket types should select another part.

Thermals and power in normal use

The processor carries an 80 W TDP rating, so cooling capacity must match that thermal load in the server chassis. Acoustic output will depend on the system fan curves configured for the X3550 M4 rather than the processor alone. Power draw under typical workloads stays within the rated envelope.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Xeon E5-2609 processor into the FCLGA2011 socket on the X3550 M4 server?

Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it gently without forcing, close the retention lever fully, then apply thermal paste and attach the heatsink before powering on.

Will the 80W thermal design require a specific heatsink or fan replacement over time?

The 80W rating means the original X3550 M4 heatsink is adequate; replace the thermal paste every few years and clean dust from the fan to maintain cooling performance.
