Key Features
30 Days Warranty
Condition : RefurbishedIBM System x3850 X5 Server Cooling Fan is a high-performance hot-swap chassis cooling fan designed for IBM enterprise rack servers (machine types 7145, 7146, 7143, 7191).
These 120 mm fans (e.g., 59Y4813 / 59Y4850) provide strong airflow to dissipate heat from CPUs, memory, and internal components — helping maintain optimal operating temperatures and reliability in demanding workloads.
A1: These cooling fans are designed for the IBM System x3850 X5 server chassis covering machine types 7145, 7146, 7143, and 7191 — all part of the x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 family.
A2: High-capacity 120 mm cooling fans like 59Y4813 / 59Y4850 are used to provide effective airflow through the server chassis and heat-critical zones.
A3: Many IBM x3850 X5 fan modules are hot-swappable, meaning they can be replaced while the server remains powered on — but always follow the official server service guide and safety procedures.
A4: Over time, server fans can wear, making less airflow or fail completely. Replacing them restores proper thermal management and helps prevent overheating, thermal throttling, and hardware failure.
A5: Some fan parts (like 59Y4813 / 59Y4850) are also compatible with IBM System x3950 X5 due to similar chassis design and cooling setups
