Replacing a System Board (6565/6868/6878)

Notes:

  1.  The BIOS and Vital Product Data (VPD) for the  computer you are servicing must be installed on  the new system board (FRU) after it is installed in  the computer. To do this, you must run the  Flash Update program using the Flash Update  diskette. See BIOS Levels, Vital Product Data,  and Flash (BIOS/VPD) update procedure.
  2.  Always ensure the latest level of BIOS is installed  on the computer. A down level BIOS may cause  false errors and unnecessary replacement of the  system board.
  3.  The processor is a separate FRU from the  system board and is not included with the system  board FRU. If you are instructed to replace the  system board, do the following.
  4.  Remove the processor from the old system board  and install it on the new system board.
  5.  Remove any of the following installed options on  the old system board, and install them on the  new system board.
  6.  Ensure that the new system board jumper  settings match the old system board jumper  settings.
  7.  If the new system board does not correct the  problem, reinstall the options on the old system  board, reinstall the old system board, then  replace the processor.
