IBM System p5 POWER Processor Swap

Swapping out one of the processor assemblies on an IBM p5 550Q power machine from the mid-2000s. After that we'll setup some LPARs, or Logical Partitions, dividing the machine into multiple pieces with an HMC, or Hardware Management Console. I'll also show a sneak peak of a pSeries predecessor, an RS/6000 F40 machine I'm going to cover in the future. @Famicoman's KVM video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyBUQWlkHk WinMan486's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@winmanthewizard @MatthewMainframes's videos on IBM Power machines have been incredibly useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz5tloUn-UQ Check me out on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/clabretro Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio #ibm #retrotech #powerpc #networking Rack stuff StarTech 25U Rack: https://amzn.to/3mEB7hS Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD UPS: https://amzn.to/3KZW3Jw 1U 24 Port Patch Panel: https://amzn.to/3Nm0bFa 1U Brush Panel: https://amzn.to/3mExAA3 1U Rack Shelf: https://amzn.to/3oaDclT Video gear Camera: https://amzn.to/4al3xjA Main mics: https://amzn.to/4dCUuO2 Desk mic: https://amzn.to/3ye8BsV Note: The above are Amazon affiliate links.
