Na, SCSI terminators have pins.

Not for serial SCSI used in old printers and scanners (I think, it's been a long time since I used SCSI so maybe I'm wrong?)

It's not RAMBUS blank module.

But I do what exactly what it is....

It's a Slot 1 (Pentium II/III era) (or Slot A for AMD cpus but I'm not 100% sure which one is it) terminator for dual-cpu boards if you want to use a single CPU

In the days of WinNT 4.0, you could have dual CPUs, but only at install time.

So if you had a server motherboard with two slots, but only 1 CPU at the time, you would install that device (A dummy CPU) into the spare slot, and fool WinNT 4.0 into thinking you had twin CPUs, then later, you'd pull the dummy card out and insert the real (matching, of course) CPU into the slot and WinNT would then take advantage of the second CPU without a re-install
