Installing the system board

Use this information to install the system board.
Before you begin
Note:
1. When you reassemble the components in the server, be sure to route all cables
carefully so that they are not exposed to excessive pressure.
2. When you replace the system board, you must either update the server with
the latest firmware or restore the pre-existing firmware from a diskette or CD
image. Make sure that you have the latest firmware or a copy of the
pre-existing firmware before you proceed. See "Updating the firmware" on
page 101, "Updating the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID)" on page 123, and
"Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data" on page 125.
3. When you replace the system board, make sure that you remove the Integrated
Management Module Advanced Upgrade 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 116
4. Reactivate any Features on Demand features after replacing the system board.
Instructions for automating the activation of features and installing activation
keys is in the IBM Features on Demand User's Guide. To download the document,
go to /http://www.ibm.com/systems/x/fod/, log in, and click Help.
Read the safety information in "Safety" on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 34.
If you are replacing a component or installing an optional device in the server, you
need to turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
