Compatibility & service notes
Do not confuse with FX 1100/2000 or later PCIe Quadro cards. Output panel and auxiliary power vary across OEM versions.
Record PCI device/subsystem IDs and BIOS. Check DVI-I connectors and stereo header; retain sync cable. Use a host with matching AGP voltage and airflow.
- Check slot signaling, keying, lane width, auxiliary power, clearance, and PSU requirements; physical insertion alone does not prove compatibility.
- Use drivers supporting this device ID and OS release. Preserve original driver/firmware before updates and record source.
- Do not energize cards with cracks, corrosion, damaged power sockets, obstructed fans, or suspected shorts; inspect before bench testing.
