Product Identity
The IBM 94Y7564 is a hot-swap cooling fan module built for the IBM X3550 M4 server. It serves administrators who need to replace a failed fan without powering down the chassis.
Practical Limits
The module operates only within the thermal envelope and firmware control of the X3550 M4. It cannot be used in other server models or generic enclosures because the pin-out, airflow profile and management handshake are proprietary.
Installation Reality
Hot-swap design allows tool-less removal while the server runs, reducing downtime. The main risk is inserting the module upside-down or with misaligned connectors, which can bend pins and trigger a thermal alarm.
