Security chip
If you replace the E100 motherboard, you must transfer the security chip from the old
motherboard to the new motherboard.
Make sure to remove the security chip from the old motherboard
before
returning the old
motherboard to your authorized service/support center. If you fail to install the security chip
on the new motherboard, the E100 will not start up and all customer-purchased software
options will be lost.

1. Locate the extraction tool provided in the new motherboard kit.
2. Remove the security chip from socket J12 on the old motherboard.
Carefully position the extraction tool around the edges of the security chip, and pull the chip
straight out of the socket. Make sure not to put stress on surrounding components.
Do not rock the chip from side to side when removing it from the socket. Doing so may result
in permanent damage to the security chip.
3. Inspect the security chip and carefully straighten any bent pins with needlenose pliers.
4. Install the security chip in socket J12 on the new motherboard.
