  • Record the complete model/SKU, serial/date label, board and bay/backplane identifiers, accessories and manual revision before disassembly.
  • Verify the exact fan, radiator, PSU, riser, cable and drive configuration against manufacturer dimensions; a published maximum does not ensure every combination fits simultaneously.
  • Keep original brackets, fasteners, trays, feet and front-panel parts labeled with the chassis. Do not force components into modified or incomplete specimens.
