8230 board SUPRISE!

[dtectr]

I was stripping the basics - pins & chips - from a board from a 8230 server & smacked these w/a hammer.
the results -
the 4 fingers are gold plated & each contact has a gold-plated pad attached. I'm not sure of its function,
but there is a magnetic piece of steel that attaches between the "4-fingeres" & the copper wire
electrmagnet. each board has about 15 of these so Hey! merry Xmas!

And with any luck at all, the contacs will be silver underneath the gold plating.
