IBM 00E7160 VRM Processor Voltage Regulator Module 2B50 for 8205-E6C 8205-E6D

IBM 00E7160 (also associated with part number 00J0254) is a Processor Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) designed to deliver clean, reliable power to IBM Power7 processors . It is primarily compatible with specific IBM Power Systems servers, including the 8205-E6C and 8205-E6D (Power 740)

Here are the technical specifications and details for the IBM 00E7160 Processor Voltage Regulator Module (VRM).

Core Overview

• Manufacturer: IBM

• Product Type: Processor Voltage Regulator Module (VRM)

• Design Classification: High Wattage / High Voltage (Typically utilized for higher core-count or higher frequency processors, often contrasted with the low-wattage 00E7162).

• CCIN (Customer Card Identification Number): 51CD

Part Number Cross-Reference (FRU / Substitutes)

This module is known by several interchangeable Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) numbers and part numbers depending on the manufacturing batch or server configuration:

• Primary Part Number (MPN): 00E7160

• Substitute/Compatible Part Numbers: * 74Y9187

  • 00FX411

  • 01AF541

  • 01AF880

• Manufacturer Component ID: VRB003-020G

Hardware Compatibility

This VRM is designed for high-performance enterprise IBM Power Systems (POWER7 / POWER7+) servers. It provides regulated power delivery to the CPU socket on the following architectures:

• IBM Power 720 Express: * Machine Type-Model (MTM): 8202-E4C

  • Machine Type-Model (MTM): 8202-E4D

• IBM Power 740 Express:

  • Machine Type-Model (MTM): 8205-E6C

  • Machine Type-Model (MTM): 8205-E6D

(Note: In these server models, the 00E7160/51CD VRM is typically required when the system is populated with high-performance or maximum core-count processor modules that require a robust power delivery envelope).

Physical Specifications

• Form Factor: Proprietary Plug-in Server VRM Module

• Dimensions: Approx. 15.0 cm x 13.0 cm x 4.0 cm

• Weight: ~0.25 kg to 0.55 kg (Slightly heavier thermal dissipation assembly compared to lower wattage modules)
