Replacing the system board
To replace the system board:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in
“Removing the side panel” on page 41.
2 For more stability, place your computer on its side. To
avoid scratching the case, place it on a towel or other
non-abrasive surface.
3 Disconnect any cables that are attached to any
expansion cards, noting their locations and orientation.
(You will reconnect the cables after you install the cards
on the new board.)
4 Remove the expansion cards by following the
instructions in “Adding or replacing an expansion card”
on page 65. You can slightly seesaw a card end-to-end
to loosen it, but do not bend a card sideways.
Tools
You need a Phillips screwdriver to replace the system board.
