Notes:
a. When replacing the system board, you must either update the system with
the latest firmware or restore the pre-existing firmware that the customer
provides on a diskette or CD image.
b. When replacing the system board in a server designed for 400 MHz
microprocessors, do not install a system board designed for
microprocessors of greater than 400 MHz (see Chapter 7, "Parts listing for
the xSeries 235," on page 161).
