Adding And Replacing System Board Components - IBM 6266 User Manual

Chapter 7. Adding and replacing system board
components
To work with the hardware components on the system board, you must first unplug
the system and remove the system unit cover. Before removing the cover or
working with internal components, review "Safety information" on page viii. If you
have not removed the cover from your system unit, see "Opening the system unit"
on page 5-5.
To access the section of the system board that you need to work with, you may
have to remove adapter cards and drives. With the system board exposed, you can
work with the connectors, system memory modules, and the system battery.
Once you have completed your hardware changes and put the cover back on your
system unit, you might need to enter the BIOS Configuration/Setup Utility to update
the settings. The system board varies with the type. Please comprehend the type
before you want to identify the parts and connector of the system board.
The following sections contain instructions for working with the hardware
components on your system board:
• "Identifying system board parts (type 6266, 6270 and 6276)" on page 7-2
• "PCI Card connector and jumper information" on page 7-4
• "Upgrading the system memory" on page 7-5
• "Replacing the system battery" on page 7-7
• "Updating the CMOS settings in Setup" on page 7-9
