System Board (Service-Only Parts Procedure)
The system board and system board tray are removed and replaced as a single assembly.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for
complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic
discharge.
CAUTION: The processor heat sink can get hot during operation. To avoid burns, ensure that the system has
sufficient time to cool before removing the system board.

If the system has cabled SAS drives or SATA drives, note the relative location of the interface cable
connections between the system board and the drives, so you can reconnect them in the proper
sequence.
