Compatibility, service & archival notes
AGP bridge may affect thermal behavior; do not use PCIe model's PCB/power assumptions for AGP card.
Check Molex lead, bridge heatsink, cooler, and PCB capacitors. Verify AGP voltage and case airflow; preserve exact AGP firmware and legacy driver.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
