Notes (1) This series of processor runs hot; expect to replace the heat sink after two years. (2) The 80GB IDE drive for this node was not re-installed because the motherboard includes only one IDE connector and rail kits and suitable cables for sharing this connector with the DVD-ROM drive are not available. (3) The 80mm X-Blaster case fan was disconnected from the motherboard and re-connected directly to the power supply on March 28, 2007, to maximize air-flow at all times.
