Compatibility and revision notes
IP35 Pro is distinct from IP35, IP35-E and IP35 Pro XE. Confirm the installed BIOS before fitting later 45 nm CPUs.
Socket, connector shape and family branding alone do not establish compatibility. Verify the exact processor list, minimum BIOS, memory population table, power input, dimensions, and shared-lane behavior in the cited manual before installation.
Preservation and repair
Inspect the CPU socket and the solid-capacitor/VRM region, northbridge cooling and auxiliary SATA controller. Archive uGuru settings; replace a failing CMOS battery only after recording RAID and fan profiles.
For archival preservation, photograph the PCB, labels, connectors and included accessories before cleaning. Record serial/date codes, firmware versions, known faults, prior repairs and test conditions; use ESD-safe handling and do not power a board with loose conductive hardware beneath it.
