Prerequisites
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.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system
Power off the system and all attached peripherals.
Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
If applicable, remove the system from the rack.
Remove the system cover.
Keep the Phillips #2 screwdriver ready.
Remove the following:
a. cooling shroud
b. memory modules
c. cooling fan cables
d. expansion card riser
e. integrated storage controller card
f. heat sink and processor
g. internal dual SD module
Removing the system board:
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.
Remove the nine screws on the system board and slide the system board toward the front of the system.
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 by holding a memory module, processor, or other components.
Installing the system board:
Hold the system board by its edges and the system board t-handle, and angle it toward the back of the chassis.
Lower the system board into the chassis until the connectors at the back of the system board align with the slots on the rear wall of the chassis, and the screw holes on the system board align with the standoffs on the chassis.
Tighten the nine screws that secure the system board to the chassis.
a. screw (9)
b. system board
c. system board t-handle
Installing the Trusted Platform Module
Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
NOTE To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see the System board connectors section.
Align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board.
Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place.
a. rivet slot on the system board
b. plastic rivet
c. TPM
d. TPM connector
Replace the following:
a. Internal dual SD module
b. Heat sink/heat sink blank and processor/processor blank
c. Expansion card riser
d. Exansion cards
e. Integrated storage controller card
f. Memory modules
g. Cooling shroud
Reconnect all cables to the system board.
NOTE: Ensure that the cables inside the system are routed through the cable routing latch.
Follow the procedure listed in the After working inside your system section.
Import your new or existing iDRAC Enterprise license.
Ensure that you:
Use the Easy Restore feature to restore the service tag. See Restoring the Service Tag by using the Easy Restore feature.
If the Service Tag is not backed up in the backup flash device, enter the system service tag manually. See Entering the system service tag.
Update the BIOS and iDRAC versions.
Re-enable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). See Initializing the TPM for BitLocker users or Initializing the TPM for Intel TXT users.
Download the Personality Module.
Install the system cover.
If applicable, install the system into the rack.
If removed, install the front bezel.
Reconnect the peripherals and connect the system to the electrical outlet.
Turn on the system, including any attached peripherals.
