replacing the system board
1. Complete all of the steps in the section "Removing the System Board" on page 2-33.
2. Grasp the new system board by its edges and carefully place it in the system. Remember that
the system board keyholes must be aligned with their corresponding standoffs on the
system's chassis. Once the system board is in the system aligned with the keyhole standoffs,
slide it back toward the rear of the system. This locks the system board in place.
