Notes:

1.The BIOS and Vital Product Data (VPD) for the computer you are servicing must be installed on the new system board (FRU) after it is installed in the computer. To do this, you must run the Flash Update program using the Flash Update diskette. See “BIOS levels” on page 265, “Vital product data” on page 264, and “Flash update procedures” on page 265.

3.The processor is a separate FRU from the system board and is not included with the system board FRU.

4.If the new system board does not correct the problem, reinstall the options on the old system board, reinstall the old system board, then replace the processor.

1.Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 40.
