Compatibility and revision notes
Use DDR2 (not DDR3) and a discrete PCIe graphics card. Check revision 1.0 CPU/BIOS table and the manual for PCIe lane mode, SATA controllers, 140 W CPU limits and memory population.
Before installation, compare the physical board and revision against the manufacturer manual. Check socket condition, CPU power requirements, cooler/chassis clearance, DIMM population order, power connectors and any shared PCIe or SATA lanes. Update firmware only with the exact model’s supported procedure.
Preservation and repair
Record the PCB revision, BIOS identifier, serial/date code, installed CPU and memory, accessories, known faults, repairs and test conditions. Use ESD-safe handling and inspect for socket damage, corrosion, leaking capacitors and loose conductive hardware before power-up.
