Removing and Replacing the System Board
CAUTION: Some system settings are saved to the LED status panel. If you are replacing both the LED
status panel and the system board, they must be replaced one at a time to avoid loss of system settings.
First replace one component, then power on the server and boot to the EFI prompt. After confirming that
the first component has been replaced successfully, power off the server and replace the second
component.
