[3dem] server K2 Summit Colfax PC

[Matthias Wolf]

Hi Ana,

Same happened to us a couple years ago - I bought an identical motherboard (not through Gatan) and replaced it myself. It’s been working fine since. I just had to re-activate our windows license. Make sure you take pictures of all add-on components and cable connections and restore them the same way.

You can contact me directly for details.
Matthias

Dear Ana-Andreea,

Colfax sells computers made with standard PC parts.  They don't make
their own motherboards.  The motherboard manufacturer and model should
be printed on it somewhere.  You could likely buy that motherboard on
your own.  It's likely made by Supermicro, Gigabyte, or Asus.

Or, there is probably a serial number on the back of your PC which
begins with "CX".  Send that number to sales at colfax-intl.com and ask
if they can sell a replacement motherboard directly to you.  It might
be complicated since you're in France.

Matt
