Chapter 3MB Exchange Rules

MB Exchange RulesMB Exchange Rules

MB exchange should be used the same model. P/N. spec, only when special case (ex: No stock in warehouse) we can use substitute to exchange.

Substitute using priority: (1) Same Spec for original CPU. Memory installed. (2) Same main chipset (North Bridge, South Bridge), same size (ATX, Micro ATX…) . (3) Same function (use same I/O, Lan ,Audio chip). (4) If there is no suitable model for sub, please use higher level product to instead of it. If you have no idea about MB exchange, please ask

TSD support window.
