Chapter 4 – Removal and Replacement

If the motherboard has been replaced, you may need to adjust
the motherboard tray to provide the snug fit required. If an adjust-
ment is required, see the section Adjustment of the
Motherboard and Motherboard Tray.
3. If you mix up the screws which hold the motherboard to the
nylon standoffs, damage to the standoffs will occur. Refer to the
Motherboard Screws and Standoffs diagrams for the proper
placement of motherboard screws.
4. It is possible to damage the motherboard by overtightening the
screws. Use care in attaching the motherboard to the mother-
board tray.
5. If you are replacing the original motherboard in a Motherboard
Power Switch machine (see section Power Switch & Cable
Assembly), ensure that the replacement motherboard has the
appropriate connector for the power switch (all DayStar-sup-
plied repair motherboards do) before proceeding.
Adjustment of the Motherboard and Motherboard Tray
The motherboard may be adjusted to provide a snug fit with the
gasket at the rear of the machine. This procedure should only be
necessary when replacing the motherboard, or when the mother-
board tray has been removed for work on the fans or other proce-
dures requiring removal of the motherboard tray.
1. Note the 6 securing screws in the oval adjustment slots in the
motherboard tray

board tray
2. Loosen the 6 screws until the tray may be moved to the left or
right slightly (a little friction makes the adjustment easier).
3. Attach the motherboard gently with 2 screws in metal spacers.
4. By sliding the motherboard and tray assembly, gently snug the
motherboard to the gasket at the rear of the machine. Do not place
undue strain on the connectors at the rear of the motherboard.
