CAUTION: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you may be prompted to create a recovery key during program or System Setup. Be sure to create and safely store this recovery key. If you replace this system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system or program before you can access the encrypted data on your hard drives.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the TPM plug-in module from the motherboard. Once the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific motherboard. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-installed or installed on another motherboard.

1.Ensure that you read the Safety instructions.

2.Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.

3.Remove the following:

a.cooling shroud

b.cooling-fan assembly

c.power supply unit(s)

d.remove all PCIe cards installed in Riser 2 and Riser 3

e.integrated storage controller card

f.internal dual SD module

g.internal USB key (if installed)

h.PCIe card holder

i.cable retention bracket

j.heat sink(s)/heat-sink blank(s)

k.processors(s)/processor blank(s)

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the processor pins when replacing a faulty system board, ensure that you cover the processor socket with the processor protective cap.

l.memory modules and memory module blanks

m.network daughter card

1.Disconnect the mini SAS cable from the system board.

2.Disconnect all cables from the system board.

CAUTION: Take care not to damage the system identification button while removing the system board from the chassis.

CAUTION: Do not lift the system board by holding a memory module, processor, or other components.

3.Hold the system-board holder, lift the blue release pin, lift the system board and slide it toward the front of the chassis.

Sliding the system board toward the front of the chassis disengages the connectors from the back of the chassis slots.

4.Lift the system board out of the chassis.
