If you are instructed to return the server component or optional device, follow all packaging instructions,
and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
Before returning the failing system board, ensure that you remove the microprocessor socket cover from the
new system board and install it onto the failing system board.
Installing the system board
Before you start, notice the following information:
• After you reassemble the components in the server, route all cables carefully so that they are not exposed
to excessive pressure.
• When you install the system board, ensure that you remove the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)
Advanced Upgrade from the failing system board and place it on the new system board. For information
about the Advanced Upgrade, see “Using the remote presence and blue-screen capture features” on
page 36
• Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part
of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you
update the code.
To install the system board, do the following:
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the system board to any unpainted metal surface
on the server; then, remove the system board from the package.
Note: When you are holding or installing the system board in the server, avoid touching the cable
clips on the side of the chassis and the connectors on the system board. Do not damage any
surrounding components inside the chassis.
Step 2. Hold the two corners 1 of the system board carefully, align the screw holes in the system board
with the corresponding mounting studs on the chassis, and then install the nine screws that you
removed.
