System Board

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:

The heat sink can get hot during operation. To avoid burns, ensure that

the system has sufficient time to cool before removing the system board.

NOTICE:

If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption

application, you may be prompted to create a recovery key during system or
application setup. Be sure to create and safely store this recovery key. If you ever
need to replace the system board, you must supply the recovery key when you
restart your system or application before you can access the encrypted data on
your hard drive(s).

Removing the System Board

1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet and from the peripherals.

3 Remove the processor airflow shroud (see "Removing the Processor Airflow

Shroud" on page 70).
