Removing and Installing Parts

Installing the System Board

NOTICE:

The system board and metal tray are connected and are installed as

one piece.

NOTICE:

If you are replacing the system board, visually compare the replacement

system board to the existing system board to make sure that you have the
correct part.

NOTE:

Some components and connectors on replacement system boards may be

in different locations than corresponding connectors on the existing system board.

NOTE:

Jumper settings on replacement system boards are preset at the factory.

1 Transfer components from the existing system board to the replacement

system board, if applicable.

2 Orient the system board assembly by aligning the notches on the bottom

of the assembly with the tabs on the computer.

3 Slide the system board assembly toward the back of the computer until the

assembly clicks into place.

4 Replace the eight screws to secure the system board assembly to the

chassis.

5 Replace any expansion cards that you removed (see "Installing a PCI Card"

on page 110 and "Installing a PCI Express Card" on page 116).
