Compatibility and revision notes
Check processor FSB and thermal design limits against the D865PERL TPS; DDR modules must be installed in validated pairs for dual-channel operation.
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
Check the socket's retention frame, CPU VRM capacitors and AGP slot solder joints. Photograph the rear FireWire/USB port layout and preserve the board ID and BIOS settings.
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.
