Installing system board
Steps
1. Unpack the new system board assembly.
CAUTION: Do not lift the system board by holding a memory module, processor, or other components
CAUTION: Take care not to damage the system identification button while placing the system board into the
chassis.
2. Holding the system board holder, push the system board toward the back of the system until the release pin clicks into place.
Next steps
1. Install the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
NOTE:
The TPM plug-in module is attached to the system board and cannot be removed. A replacement TPM plug-in
module will be provided for all system board replacements where a TPM plug-in module was installed.
2. Replace the following:
a. Network daughter card
b. Internal USB key (if applicable)
c. USB 3.0 module
d. vFlash card
e. Optical drive
f. All expansion card risers
g. Processor and heat sink module
h. Processor and memory blank
i. Memory modules
j. Cooling fan assembly
k. Air shroud
l. Power supply unit(s)
3. Reconnect all cables to the system board.
NOTE:
Ensure that the cables inside the system are routed along the chassis wall and secured using the cable securing
bracket.
4. The Easy Restore feature restores several configuration settings, most notably the Service Tag, iDRAC Licenses, and OEM
ID Modules (if needed for the last two). Refer to the Restoring the Service Tag Using Easy Restore page. When the system
board is booted for the first time it will present a screen with settings it can restore.
