Compatibility, service & archival notes
Same M40 family includes materially different capacities; confirm SKU before attributing memory size.
Read board label for 12/24 GB variant; verify airflow and server-supplied power harness. Record ECC/driver state and CUDA compatibility; do not run in an unshrouded desktop chassis.
- 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.
