Replacing the system board

6
Find the memory module banks on your
system board.
7
Gently pull the plastic tabs away from the
sides of the memory modules, then
remove them.
Caution
The heat sink has
Thermal Interface
Material (TIM) located
on the bottom of it.
Use caution when you
remove the old heat
sink or unpack the new
heat sink so you do not
damage the TIM.
8
Loosen the four screws that secure the heat
sink to the system board, then remove the
heat sink. (These screws cannot be
completely removed.)
9
Disconnect the power and data cables
from the system board, noting their
locations and orientation. (You will
reconnect the cables after you install the
new board.)
