Installing the system board

Prerequisites

If you are replacing a component, remove the existing component before performing the installation procedure.

NOTE:

The Service Tag of your computer is stored in the system board. Enter the Service Tag in the BIOS setup

program after you replace the system board.

NOTE:

Replacing the system board removes any changes that you have made to the BIOS using the BIOS setup

program. Make the appropriate changes again after you replace the system board. After your computer is reassembled

and powered on, it prompts for the Real Time Clock (RTC) reset. When the RTC reset cycle occurs, the computer

restarts several times and then an error message is displayed- "Time of day not set". Enter the BIOS when this error

appears and set the date and time on your computer to resume normal functionality.
