Hi,

I cannot find a manual for the board of a friend of mine. The board is from a Compaq Deskpro EP/SB with a 350 MHz Pentium II. A Compaq tool identifies it as a 8915CCJ82038. Google has zero hits for that string and the Compaq/HP homepage is just a mess. Anybody know of a place where to get a manual? TIA.

Best

Oh, it's not exactly the same board - different number of slots...

I have the exact board shown in the above picture. There is a white connector behind and to the left of the serial ports with 3 pins sticking up. Is that a fan power connector ?

you do NOT have the exact same board then as this one has NO three-pin connector there. It might be a fan connector but I wouldn't count on it, the original case design uses a PASSIVE cooling block on the CPU and a HUGE fan in the case blowing at the CPU...
