To install the system board, reverse the removal procedure.

Note the following when installing a system board:

To insure correct installation while fastening the first two screws, press the system board firmly in place against the rear I/O panel so that the system board screw holes are aligned to the mounting holes in the chassis.

When installing a system board, align the ports on the rear of the system board to cutouts in the rear of the chassis (keep EMI tabs on top of the connectors), and firmly slide toward the chassis rear until system board screw holes are aligned to mounting holes in the chassis.

Ensure ground fingers make contact with the connectors on the system board and are not damaged.

When installing the system board, recommended torque = 4-6 in-lbs.

When replacing the system board, you must also change the chassis serial number in the BIOS.

After installing a new system board, always update the system ROM to ensure that the latest version of the BIOS is being used on the computer. The latest system ROM BIOS can be found at: http:\\h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files.
