System board assembly replacement (Trained technicians only)

Follow instructions in this section to remove and install the system board assembly.

Important

  • This task must be operated by trained technicians that are certified by Lenovo Service. Do not attempt to remove or install the part without proper training and qualification.

  • If you need to replace a processor board and a firmware and RoT security module together, do the following:

    • Check the current PSB fuse policy before replacement. See Service process before replacement at Service process for updating PSB fuse state (Lenovo service technicians only).

    • Ensure that the processor fuse status is expected without unexpected XCC event logs after replacement. See Service process after replacing a processor board and a firmware and RoT security module together at Service process for updating PSB fuse state (Lenovo service technicians only).
