Compatibility, service & archival notes

R420 reference clocks/layout do not universally apply to partner boards or PCIe X800 XT PE.

Identify AGP model and VBIOS; inspect power input, fan and capacitors. Preserve Catalyst legacy driver and any display adapters.

  • Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board length, case clearance, airflow, and PSU requirements for the exact item.
  • Use drivers for the device ID and target OS; preserve installer/firmware copies and record their source before updates.
  • Do not power hardware with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling, or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
