Compatibility & preservation notes
Use the machine type and serial-specific parts list before ordering a board, fan, adapter or storage cage. Later Tiny generations can look similar but have different board, port and bracket layouts.
- Do not install a desktop CPU cooler or standard PSU; the board, fan assembly and external DC power path are proprietary.
- Check VESA bracket orientation and leave both vent fields unobstructed; remove dust from the fan and heatsink during service.
