I've searched and searched, and I have been unable to find the Lenovo Part Numbers for the motherboard(s) in the Lenovo ThinkStation E31 Tower [a workstation type of computer housed in a mid-tower case].
The E31 uses at least two different chipsets, the Q77 and the C216 -- so there must be at least two different Lenovo motherboard Part Numbers.
For comparason, consider the Lenovo ThinkCentre M92p Tower. . The M92p Tower was shipped with one of these three motherboards: . 03T6821 . or . 03T7081 . or . 03T7083
This information can be found in the following online / downloadable PDF-file:

I cannot find a similar Lenovo PDF-file for the Lenovo ThinkStation E31 Tower. . Lenovo is usually pretty good about such things, and I am puzzled about the lack of info on the E31.
I actually have two questions here...
1) . What are the comparable 7-digit motherboard numbers for the Lenovo ThinkStation E31 Tower?
2) . In the ThinkStation E31 Series... Does Lenovo use the same size & shape & hole-layout-pattern [9.6" x 9.6" square micro-ATX] in both the Tower Desktop motherboard and the Small Desktop [SFF] motherboard?
If not, how are the Tower and SFF boards different?
Thanks for your answers
