PowerEdge T410 System board

Question

I'm trying to purchase a second T410 as a backup for our main server, basically just for parts, but also to currently do a rebuild on our SBS2008 as we need our it rebuilt from the ground up.

Basically, I want to know if there are different incompatible system boards, or if all T410 boards are interchangeable. I've found two boards routes so far:

M638F (Dell PowerEdge T410 MB, TPM, Foxconn (Dispatch SVC Kit M055R - Used in all countries except China and Russia - Purged Jun 2010 - Replaced by W1N75) * This Is Part Of Kit .)

Y2G6P (Dell PowerEdge T410 MB, TPM, Foxconn (Dispatch SVC Kit WYK9V - March 2010, Required for Westmere-EP Processors and Tylersburg C2 Chipset - Used in all countries except China and Russia - Purged Jun 2010 - Replaced by H19HD) * This Is Part Of Kit .)

Further, is there a way to determine which board is in a system with just a service tag?

Platin465,

The 2nd board has a different pinout for the Westmere processor. You will have to have the 2nd board if you have the Westmere. If you don't have Westmeres then either board should work.

In regards to determaining what is in the system by Srv Tag, you can follow this link
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/poweredge-t410
and then click on "System Configuration " tab and then enter tag number. I it will show a list with your components.

Let me know how it goes.

Chris,

Thank you for the info! Most of the ones I'm finding have that 2nd board. My "System Configuration" doesn't include any of the numbers I mentioned for the motherboard, nor did one of the ones I found for sale which did have a similar ship date as mine. I opened mine up and it has the M638F chip.

Do you think I would be able to back up my system and restore it on a system with one of the different boards? In the end, that's what I think we'd do and keep it for backup so that if one goes down we just need to plug the other in until we can get the first fixed.

You should be able to back up the server and then just move the hardware over and power up. You may have to deal with a foreign configuration or a retag. I would definitely suggest the backup though.

Try looking for them with these part numbers, it is for the kits.

M638F - look for T1GRW

Y2G6P - look for 29F01

...then a M638F board could be replaced with any of the other models including H19HD, correct?
