Removing the Installed Logic Board
Note: The replacement logic board does not include memory DIMMs or expansion cards.
You must transfer these parts from the current logic board.
To remove the logic board, you must first remove:
• memory DIMMs
• PCI/AGP card risers
• heatsink and processor
• ATA controller board
• power supply
Memory DIMMs
For each installed DIMM, do the following:
1. Push down the ejectors on the DIMM slot. (Figure 3)
2. Holding the DIMM by both top corners, lift it straight up out of the server.
Warning: When removing or installing the DIMM, handle it only by the edges. Do not
touch its connectors. Lift the DIMM straight up from the connector to remove it, and insert
it straight down into the connector to install it. Do not rock the DIMM from side to side.

Three slots are available for PCI expansion cards. Two slots are on a riser card located at
the back left corner of the logic board; an additional slot is on a riser card at the back right
corner of the logic board. The following instructions explain how to remove both risers.
