3.Install all expansion cards in the same slots on the new system board (use the notes you made when you removed the cards from the original system board).

4.Install any internal panels, shrouds, or brackets.

5.Install the computer cover.

6.Install the power supplies :

a.Slide the power supply almost all the way into its bay, allowing it to extend out about a half centimeter (a quarter of an inch).

NOTE: The power supply will not operate unless the handle is snapped all the way into the securing position.

9.If you are using a padlock to secure your system, reinstall the padlock.

NOTE: After removing and replacing the system board, the chassis intrusion detector will cause the following message to be displayed at the next system start-up:

ALERT! Cover was previously removed.

10.Reset the chassis intrusion detector by entering the System Setup program and setting Chassis Intrusion to Not Detected. See “Using the System Setup Pro- gram,” in your system User's Guide for instructions.
