Compatibility, service & archival notes
NVIDIA advertised a single board with two GPUs; 1 GB total is not a single pooled memory space.
Inspect PCB interconnects, frame, power socket, and fans. Preserve VBIOS and driver pairing; confirm both GPUs enumerate and board fits slot spacing.
- 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.
