Follow the procedure listed in After working inside your system.

System board

Removing the system board

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only

perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as

directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is

not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions

that came with the product.

CAUTION: If you are using the Trusted Program Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you may

be prompted to create a recovery key during program or System Setup. Be sure to create and

safely store this recovery key. If you replace this system board, you must supply the recovery key

when you restart your system or program before you can access the encrypted data on your hard

drives.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the TPM plug-in module from the system board. Once the

TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any

attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, and it

cannot be re-installed or installed on another system board.

1. Ensure that you read the Safety instructions.

2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.

3. Remove the following:

a. cooling shroud

b. memory modules

c. cooling fan cables

d. expansion cards

e. expansion-card riser

f. integrated storage controller card

g. heat sink and processor

h. internal dual SD module

Steps

1. Disconnect all other cables from the system board.

CAUTION: Take care not to damage the system identification button while removing the

system board from the chassis.

2. Remove the nine screws on the system board and slide the system board toward the front of the

system.

3. Hold the system board t-handle and lift the system board out of the chassis.

NOTE: To prevent damage to the system board, ensure that you hold the system board by its

edges only.

CAUTION: Do not lift the system board assembly by holding a memory module, processor, or

other components.
