I've done a bit more research here and stumbled over the following.
The MacPro4,1 (early 2009) apparently ships with 2 different Backplane boards:
Ver. 1 p/n: 661-4996, EEE codes: 1LT, 7A1
Ver. 2 p/n: 661-5444, EEE codes: CU7, DD4G, A71 BH7
The 8-core Processor board: p/n: 661-4998, EEE codes: 1LU, BXZ, DCVH
The 4-core Processor board: p/n: 661-4999, EEE codes: 4MF, BY0, DCVJ
According to the above, there is no specific Backplane for the 4-core or 8-core Processor board. So the Processor boards are interchangeable.
What I don't know yet is the difference between ver. 1 and ver. 2 Backplane boards:
According to some readings, the best way to find if a part is correct is to match the EEE code. My 8-core Processor board has the following Barcode:
J5906F1UH1LUB, which means according to xxxxxxxEEEx, the EEE code is 1LU. And the link below suggest that 1LT should be the corresponding Backplane board. I obviously have a ver. 1 Backplane board.
Does anyone know the difference between ver. 1 and 2 Backplane boards?
What 4-core Processor board would be a match for Backplane with EEE 1LT?
