Remove the memory from the memory slots and place it in a static-free

bag for storage.

Disconnect each remaining cable from the system board, including the

front I/O panel connectors and the rear fan connector.

Remove the seven screws that secure the system board to the case.

Three screws are aligned top-to-bottom on the left side of the system

board, three are aligned top-to-bottom near the center of the system

board, and one screw is located near the middle of the right side of the

system board.

Lift the system board away from the case by raising the right side of the

system board about one inch.

Slide the system board about one inch to the right (toward the front of

the case), then lift it out and away from the case.

Slide the new system board into the case. Make sure that the ports align

with the port openings in the back of the case and that the seven screw

holes match the screw holes in the case.

Replace each of the seven system board screws you removed previously.

Attach all cables to the new system board.

Place the processor into the processor socket. Make sure that the

processor is aligned correctly by matching the small triangle on the corner

of the processor with the small triangle on the corner of the processor

socket.

Swing the processor retention bracket down onto the processor, then

press the processor retention lever back into place.

Caution

The heat sink has Thermal Interface

Material (TIM) located on the bottom of

it. Use caution when you unpack the heat

sink so you do not damage the TIM.

Place the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws

with the four posts surrounding the processor.

Loosely screw in the captive screws on the corners of the heat sink, gently

tightening diagonal screws (screw in one screw, then the screw located

diagonally to the first screw). Do not fully tighten one screw before

tightening another.

Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw until each is firmly

tightened. Do not over-tighten the screws.

Connect the heat sink fan’s power connector to the system board.

Reinstall each expansion card.

Replace the side panel by following the instructions in

“Replacing the side

panel” on page 157
