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 X-Blaster case fan had failed and was replaced on March 28, 2007, with a Thermaltake Smart Case Fan. (4) The SIIG Combination Firewire 400/800 and High-Speed USB adapter was swapped from Node 08 to this node on March 28, 2007; and the WD MyBook external 500GB drive was connected through the SIIG adapter.
