4Connect the free end of the four-conductor power cable that you installed on the back of the backplane (in step 1) to the power connector (CN2) on the system board.

5Lower the system board/backplane board into the system chassis with the grounding posts through the holes on the system board.

6Slide the system board/backplane board assembly back towards the system back panel.

Ensure that the tabs on the backplane are installed through their slots on the system chassis, and that the grounding posts are properly locked in their slotted holes on the system board.

7Secure the backplane securing latch by sliding it toward the backplane until it locks. See Figure 1-1.

8Secure the system board to the system chassis by tightening the thumbscrew. See Figure 1-1.

9Lower the backplane releasing latches to the locked position. See Figure 1-2.

10Install the riser board. See "Installing the Riser Board" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

11Install any expansion cards that were removed. See "Installing an Expansion Card" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

12Replace the system battery, if it was removed. See "Replacing the Battery" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

13Replace the processor, if it was removed. See "Replacing the Processor" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
