This base cover is a passive metal and plastic chassis part with no fans or electronics, so it produces no noise or heat of its own.

You will need the system board, battery, DC jack HW910, keyboard, palm-rest assembly and all internal screws that are not included with this cover.

Will the J381M cover fit a Precision M4400 that still uses the original hinge brackets?

Yes, the cover is listed as compatible with both the Latitude E6500 and Precision M4400 and reuses the existing hinge brackets and spring latch.
