Compatibility, service & archival notes
Reference card uses two G92 GPUs in a single enclosure; driver profiles control application scaling.
Inspect inter-board bridge/frame, blower, connector seating and fan. Verify both GPUs enumerate; preserve exact VBIOS and compatible multi-GPU 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.
