I have a Dell Poweredge 2850 server and yesterday it died. It seems like motherboard is the culprit.
I'm trying to get a replacement now, but that is where it gets a little bit confusing. If I enter my service tag into Dell Parts Search engine, it gives me a choice of at least 3 motherboard part numbers: Dell Part# HH715, Dell Part# HH719, Dell Part# T7916. On ebay, where I'm planning on buying the replacement MoBo, there's even more variations. I looked at the motherboard itself and I can't seem to find any model number like that on it.
Is there a way to find out motherboard model number? Or should I just get any of the MB models that Dell offers?

Use the service tag to display the original system configuration. It should have a Dell part number for the mother board and may even have a model number.
