Removing the system board

Prerequisites

1. Follow the procedure in 

Before working inside your computer

.

NOTE:

 The Service Tag of your computer is stored in the system board. Enter the Service Tag in the BIOS setup

program after you replace the system board.

NOTE:

 Replacing the system board removes any changes that you have made to the BIOS using the BIOS setup

program. Make the appropriate changes again after you replace the system board.

NOTE:

 Before disconnecting the cables from the system board, note the location of the connectors so that you can

reconnect the cables correctly after you replace the system board.

2. Remove the 

base cover

.

3. Remove the 

battery

.

4. Remove the 

memory module

.

5. Remove the 

M.2 2230 solid-state drive

 or the 

M.2 2280 solid-state drive

 from the SSD1 slot.

6. Remove the 

M.2 2230 solid-state drive

 or the 

M.2 2280 solid-state drive

 from the SSD2 slot.

7. Remove the 

heat sink (for systems shipped with an integrated graphics card)

 or the 

heat sink (for systems shipped with a

discrete graphics card)

.

NOTE:

 The system board can be removed or installed together with the heat sink attached. This simplifies the

procedure and avoids breaking the thermal bond between the system board and the heat sink.

8. Remove the 

right fan

.

9. Remove the 

left fan

.

10. Remove the 

I/O board
