Remove the rear fan bracket. See the “Rear Fan Bracket” section in this chapter.
Reverse steps 1 through 17 to replace the system board.
CAUTION:
Always use a new heatsink with thermal interface material when replacing
processors on the new system board. Failure to use new components may result in damage to
the processor. For more information, see the “Processors” section in this chapter.
IMPORTANT:
Tighten the system board thumbscrew before installing the front fan bracket. The fan
bracket does not seat securely if the thumbscrew is not fully tightened.
When reinstalling the processor on the new system board, discard the used heatsink. Reinstall
the processors with the new heatsink that ships in the system board spare parts kit.
