▶
Remove the 13 screws (see blue circles, orange circles show the centering
bolts) from the system board.
▶
Use both hands to lift the system board carefully out of the chassis in a
slight angle. Thereby you pull the connectors out of the I/O panel.
CAUTION
▶
Always take the system board with both hands!
▶
Never lift the system board one-sided or at a heat sink,
because the solder connections between the socket and the
system board come under tension and increase the risk of
damage and malfunction!
▶
Do not damage the EMI springs which are essential to comply
with applicable EMC regulations and satisfy cooling
requirements and fire protection measures.
▶
Place the removed and the new system board on an antistatic surface.
▶
Remove the TPM, see "Removing the TPM" on page 394.
Installing the new system board
▶
Check the settings on the new system board, see "Onboard settings" on
page 458.
▶
Insert the system board by holding it at a slight angle. Slide the connectors
into the I/O panel, see
Figure 280.
▶
Lower the system board carefully into the chassis.
▶
Adjust the system board. If necessary adjust the position of the system
board with a gentle twisting motion (orange circles in Figure 280 show the
centering bolts).
▶
Fasten the system board with the 13 screws, see Figure 280.
▶
For Japan / APAC / North America only:
Replace the CMOS battery installed on the new system board with a new
CMOS battery, see "Replacing the CMOS battery" on page 388, because
charging of CMOS battery might be reduced during stocked in warehouse.
▶
Remove the heat sink with the CPU from the defective system board, see
"Removing the heat sink" on page 283.
