To install the system board, reverse the removal procedure. CAUTION: Before reinstalling the heatsink you must clean the top of the processor and the bottom of the heatsink with an alcohol pad supplied in the spares kit. After the alcohol has evaporated, apply thermal grease to the top of the processor from the syringe supplied in the spares kit. NOTE: When reinstalling the system board it is important to secure the system board and tray to the chassis with the long retaining screw before performing any subsequent steps. CAUTION: When reconnecting the cables it is important that they be positioned so they do not interfere with the rotation of the drive cage or power supply. NOTE: When replacing the system board, you must also change the chassis serial number in the BIOS. 114 Chapter 8 Removal and Replacement Procedures Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis
