Logic Board
Procedure
1. Release the thumb screw that secures the logic board to the chassis.
2. Move the logic board forward and up slightly to release it from the four mounting pegs.
3. Tilt up the end of the logic board nearest the blowers so that the board ports clear the
chassis.
4. Remove the board from the server.
Replacement Note: Before installing the replacement logic board, check the heatsink
thermal pad on the underside of the board. If the pad is covered with a protective film,
remove it. (The protective film is a very thin layer on top of the thermal pad. Be careful to
remove only the film, not the pad.)
