Dell PowerEdge C6320 Owner's Manual

Installing a system board

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.

Steps

  1. Holding the system board by the edges, slide the system board into the system board assembly.
  2. Install the screws to secure the system board to the system board assembly.

Next steps

    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.

    1. Use the Easy Restore feature to restore the Service Tag. For more information, see the Easy restore section.
    2. If the Service Tag is not backed up in the backup flash device, enter the system Service Tag manually. For more information, see the Entering the system Service Tag section.
