System-board assembly replacement

Use the following information to remove and install the system-board assembly.

Important
Before you return the defective system-board assembly, make sure that you install the processor socket covers from the replacement system-board assembly. To replace a processor socket cover:

  1. Take a socket cover from the processor socket assembly on the replacement system-board assembly and orient it correctly above the processor socket assembly on the defective system-board assembly.

  2. Gently press down the socket cover legs to the processor socket assembly, pressing on the edges to avoid damage to the socket pins. You might hear a click meaning the socket cover is securely attached.

  3. Make sure that the socket cover is securely attached to the processor socket assembly.
