The CPU board has different model numbers and appearances depending on the dates of the shipping and the
board changeover.
When the CPU board has been replaced for maintenance, the type of CPU board cannot be distinguished only
by serial number. In such a case, see the type of connector for mouse and keyboard or the model number
printed on the CPU board to distinguish the CPU board type.
