Compatibility, service & archival notes
Reference MAX clocks do not identify the connector panel; distinguish G400 MAX from G400 by label and board markings.
Record PCB/BIOS and Matrox driver version; retain adapters. Inspect connectors and fanless heatsink; avoid stressing SGRAM packages when cleaning.
- 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.
