Installing the System Board Assembly

1Unpack the new system board assembly. If the I/O board was not removed go to step 5.

2Grasp the I/O board by its edge and the release pin and lower it into the chassis.

3Position the I/O board to the bottom of the chassis until it lays completely flat.

4Slide the I/O board toward the back of the system, inserting the connectors into the cutouts on the chassis back panel.

5Holding by the handle and the board edge of the processor board

(see Figure 3-30), lower the processor board into the chassis. Lower the processor board to the bottom of the chassis until it lays completely flat.

6Rotate the levers outward 90 degrees and slide the processor board backward so that the guide pins on one half of the high-speed connector engages with the slots on the other half of the connector. See Figure 3-30.

7Push the release levers inward until they lock into position. See Figure 3-30.

8Replace the processors and heat sinks on the new processor board. See "Installing a Processor" on page 129.

9Replace the memory modules. See "Installing Memory Modules" on page 97.

10Replace the cable clamp. See Figure 3-10.

11Replace the cooling fan assembly. See "Installing the Cooling Fan Assembly" on page 104.

12If applicable, replace the NIC hardware key on the I/O board. See "Internal NIC Hardware Key" on page 105.

13If applicable, replace the expansion card risers. See "Installing Expansion- Card Riser 1" on page 113 and "Installing Expansion-Card Riser 2" on page 114.

14If applicable, replace all expansion cards and the integrated storage controller card. See "Installing an Expansion Card" on page 108 and "Installing the Integrated Storage Controller Card" on page 117.
