Installing the system board

Prerequisites

If you are replacing a component, remove the existing component before performing the installation procedure.

About this task

NOTE:When replacing/accessing other parts, the system board can be installed with the heat sink attached in order to simplify the procedure and preserve the thermal bond between the system board and heat-sink.
NOTE:Your computer’s Service Tag is stored in the system board. You must enter the Service Tag in the BIOS setup program after you replace the system board.
NOTE:Replacing the system board removes any changes you have made to the BIOS using the BIOS setup program. You must make the appropriate changes again after you replace the system board.
