Xserve G5 Take Apart - 71 Logic Board
Important: When replacing the logic board, make sure the board’s connectors fit through
the appropriate openings in the server’s back panel. Take special care to fit the clear
plastic system identifier button through its opening. (The system identifier button is located
low on the back panel, to the left of center.)
Caution: Be careful not to flex the logic board, which could damage the board or its
components. To minimize flexing, always grasp the logic board by its long edges when
removing or installing it.
After installing a replacement logic board, be sure to transfer any PCI cards, risers, and
DIMMs to the new board. You must also remove the battery insulator tab from the battery
holder on the new board.
Note: Replacing the logic board in the server changes its Ethernet ID number. The new
number is printed on an Ethernet label packaged with the replacement logic board. After
installing the new logic board, place the new Ethernet label over the original Ethernet
number on the server’s back pane
