Important: Before you return the system board, make sure that you install the processor socket covers from
the new system board. To replace a processor socket cover:
1. Insert the new system board into the chassis. See

correctly above the processor socket assembly on the removed system board.
3. Gently press down the socket cover legs to the processor socket assembly, pressing on the edges to
avoid damage to the socket pins. You might hear a click on the socket cover is securely attached.
4. Make sure that the socket cover is securely attached to the processor socket assembly.
