Installing the Power Distribution Board

1Align the securing slots on the power distribution board with the tabs on the chassis.

2Slide the board downwards until the blue release pin locks into place.

3Connect all the power distribution board cables to the system board.

4Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on page 93.

5Replace the power supplies. See "Installing a Redundant Power Supply" on page 122.

6Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 91.

7Place the system upright and on its feet on a flat, stable surface.

8Rotate the system feet outward.

9Reattach any peripherals and connect the system to an electrical outlet.

10Turn on the system and attached peripherals.

System Board (Service-Only Procedure)

WARNING: The heat sink can get hot during operation. To avoid burns, ensure that the system has sufficient time to cool before removing the system board.

CAUTION: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption program, you may be prompted to create a recovery key during system or program setup. Be sure to create and safely store this recovery key. If you ever need to replace the 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 drive(s).

Removing the System Board

WARNING: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.

2Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 85.

3Rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on a flat surface.
