50 Replacing and Adding System Components

Replacing the system board

The system board is mounted on stand-off retention hooks on the right side

of the chassis. The board is secured by six screws, one on the back-right of

the chassis (outside), and five inside the chassis.

To remove the system board:

1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if

installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2 Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover” on

page 18 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 15.)

3 Place the chassis gently on its right side.

4 Remove all expansion cards from the system board. (See “Adding an

expansion card” on page 45.)

5 Disconnect all cables from the system board, including the power cables

from the power supply. Note where the cables are connected.

6 Remove the retaining screws securing the board to the right side of the

chassis (inside the chassis).
