IBM 39Y9661 — BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM)
Identity
This listing is for an OEM service part carrying the printed part number 39Y9661, an IBM BladeCenter component. Across the secondary market 39Y9661 is listed consistently as an IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM), paired with part number 39Y9659 and cited most often against the BladeCenter H type 8852 chassis. No IBM parts document naming 39Y9661 directly was located during research, so this identification rests on consistent reseller data rather than vendor documentation. T.E.S confirms the exact model from the unit label before dispatch.
What is confirmed about 39Y9661
The printed part number is 39Y9661, an IBM BladeCenter service part.
It is listed consistently across the secondary market as a BladeCenter Advanced Management Module, and appears paired with 39Y9659 in many of those listings.
The chassis most frequently cited alongside it is the IBM BladeCenter H, machine type 8852.
As a product class, the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module is the chassis management controller: it provides the web and CLI management interface for the chassis, remote presence and chassis-level monitoring, and occupies the management module bay.
It is a chassis management module. It is not a switch module, not a blade server and not a PCIe card.
What is not yet confirmed
This list is deliberate. It is what T.E.S could not establish from documentation, and it is read off the physical unit before dispatch rather than guessed at here.
Which generation of management module this unit is. The BladeCenter line shipped the original Management Module, the Advanced Management Module (AMM) and the Advanced Management Module 2 (AMM2), and part numbers such as 60Y0621, 80Y9080 and 80Y9081 appear in the same reseller listings as 39Y9661. Generation is not derivable from the part number alone.
Whether 39Y9661 is the option number or the service number for this module — reseller listings use 39Y9659 and 39Y9661 interchangeably and T.E.S could not resolve which is which from IBM documentation.
Which BladeCenter chassis types this specific unit is supported in. BladeCenter E, H, T, HT and S have differing management module support, and T.E.S has not verified a support matrix for 39Y9661.
Firmware level, and any residual configuration, IP settings or user accounts left by the previous owner.
Whether the media tray, KVM and remote-presence functions were licensed or enabled on the originating chassis.
Request label photos before you order
Ask us for photographs of this unit's product label and we will send them before you commit to anything. This is a single unit, and the AMM-versus-AMM2 question is the one that decides whether it fits your chassis. We will photograph the full label and the module face so you can check it against your chassis before you commit. If the label does not match what is described on this page, we say so and re-quote or cancel — we do not ship a substitute and hope it fits. Quote part number 39Y9661 when you contact us.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I buying with 39Y9661?
A refurbished IBM BladeCenter service part whose printed number is 39Y9661. It is listed consistently across the secondary market as a BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM), frequently paired with 39Y9659 and cited against the BladeCenter H type 8852. T.E.S located no IBM parts document naming 39Y9661 directly, so the generation and the supported-chassis list are treated as unconfirmed and read off the unit before dispatch.
Is 39Y9661 an AMM or an AMM2?
Not established, and this is the most important open question on this part. The BladeCenter line shipped an original Management Module, an Advanced Management Module and an Advanced Management Module 2, and reseller listings for 39Y9661 sit alongside numbers such as 60Y0621, 80Y9080 and 80Y9081 without clearly separating the generations. Ask us for label photographs and check them against your chassis documentation before ordering.
Will T.E.S confirm the exact model before shipping 39Y9661?
Yes, as a standard dispatch step. We read the printed part number and the module marking off the physical unit. If it is a different management module generation than described here, we contact you before shipping rather than after.
What if 39Y9661 turns out not to fit my chassis?
Tell us the BladeCenter machine type before you order and we check the unit's markings against it first. Because T.E.S has not verified a support matrix for 39Y9661, we would rather do that check with you up front than have you discover the mismatch on installation. If the module does not match, we re-quote or cancel; if it ships and we misread the label, it comes back at our cost.
Is the 39Y9661 module tested?
It is cleaned, visually inspected and bench-tested where a suitable test topology is available. For a chassis management module that requires a matching BladeCenter chassis on the bench, which is not always available. Ask what was actually done to this unit and we will tell you rather than implying more.
Will there be old settings or accounts on the 39Y9661 module?
Possibly. A management module retains IP settings, user accounts and configuration from its previous chassis unless it has been reset. We reset management modules where we have a chassis available to do it in, but we cannot always guarantee it for this part. Ask before ordering and we will tell you the actual state of this unit.
Why T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS supplies refurbished enterprise networking and server hardware from EU stock to a B2B market. On OEM service parts whose exact model is not established by the part number alone, we publish what we can verify and name what we cannot, instead of filling the gap with plausible-sounding specifications. Every unit is photographed and its label read before dispatch. If the unit differs from this page, we tell you before we ship.
