System Board Removal (Low-Profile Chassis): OptiPlex GXi
1. Remove the expansion-card cage.
2. Place the computer on its side on a flat surface, with the floor stand off the edge of the surface.
3. Unlatch and rotate the power supply until it stops.
4. Disconnect all cables from their connectors at the back of the computer.
5. Disconnect all cables from the system board.
6. Remove the screw that secures the system board to the side of the chassis.
7. Slide the system board toward the front of the chassis until it stops.
8. Carefully lift the system board out of the chassis (be sure to lift evenly and not twist the system board).
If you are replacing a system board, remove the DIMMs, cache memory card, NIC daughter board, and microprocessor from the old system board and install them
on the replacement board.
When you reinstall the system board, before you slide the system board back to lock it in position, push down near each slot to engage the grounding clip onto its
corresponding tab. Push evenly on both sides of the system board as you slide it into position (do not twist the system board).
