Replacing the system board
To replace the system board:
1 Identify your computer case style. For more information, see “Identifying
your computer case style” on page 220.
2 Open the case by following the instructions in “Opening the case” on
page 221.
3 For more stability, place your computer on its side. To avoid scratching
the case, place it on a towel or other non-abrasive surface.
4 Remove all of the add-in cards by following the instructions in “Adding
or replacing add-in cards” on page 232.
5 Disconnect the power and data cables from the system board, noting their
locations and orientation. (You will reconnect the cables after you install
the new board.)
