Replacing the System Board

To replace the system board, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the system board if you have not already done this. Otherwise, skip this step.
To remove the system board, follow the procedure in the section "Removing the
System Board" found in this chapter.
2. Use the system board's turbo-cooler heatsink and handle to place it in the workstation.
The system board must be angled when replacing it in the workstation such that the
DIMM edge of the system board is two to three inches higher than the turbo-cooler
heatsink edge. This will prevent the system board components from catching on the
system divider panel. See Figure 3-57.

3. Grasp the system board by the microprocessor's turbo-cooler heatsink and the handle
located on the back edge of the system board, and slide the system board toward the
back of the workstation (in the direction of the arrow). See Figure 3-58. Note that this
step locks the system board on its standoffs.
