5. While supporting the motherboard to keep it from falling out,
carefully remove the 2 screws holding the motherboard to the
motherboard tray. Make sure that the motherboard tray does not
move during removal of the motherboard.
6. Tighten the 6 motherboard tray securing screws, starting with
the 2 screws in the center.
Proceed to Genesis MP Motherboard, section on replacement of
motherboard.
Repair and Replacement of Motherboard Standoffs
Nylon standoffs may break when subjected to unusual force (acci-
dents, droppage, excessively rough handling), or strip when moth-
erboard attaching screws are mixed during reassembly.
If only a single nylon standoff is stripped, the Genesis MP case pro-
vides enough redundant support that the standoff thread may be
repaired with Loctite thread locker number 242.
To repair a single stripped nylon standoff:
1. Immediately before final assembly of the motherboard retaining
screw to the stripped standoff, coat the threads of the screw
with Loctite number 242.
2. Install the motherboard retaining screw immediately. If the screw
is removed again for any reason, replace the nylon standoff.
IMPORTANT
If more than one nylon standoff is stripped, or if you have reason
to believe that one or more nylon standoffs have been stripped
and repaired previously, DayStar recommends that all nylon stand-
offs be replaced at this time.
If a metal standoff is damaged, do not attempt repair - replace it.
If a standoff is broken, it must be replaced. DayStar recommends
that all nylon standoffs be replaced at this time.
To replace nylon or metal standoffs
1. Remove the motherboard. Refer to the section Genesis MP
Motherboard.
2. Replace all nylon standoffs and any damaged metal standoffs
using a nutdriver of an appropriate size.
3. Replace motherboard. If the motherboard tray has been loos-
ened or removed, adjust per instructions in section Adjustment
of the Motherboard and Motherboard Tray.
