Compatibility, service & archival notes
OEM/HP versions may change output bracket and firmware; identify exact product number before reuse.
Record PCI IDs and VBIOS; inspect DVI/stereo connectors and cooler; retain stereo hardware and driver media. Check AGP voltage and workstation airflow.
- 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.
