Compatibility and revision notes
Triple-channel memory should follow the board manual's slot order; high-memory and Xeon support depend on CPU and BIOS. Identify V2 from the PCB label.
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 LGA1366 contacts, VRM heatsinks and the chipset fanless cooling path. Log memory-training and BIOS settings before removing the cell; use a grounded tray for this large, heavy ATX board.
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.
