Netfinity 3500 - System Board Replacement

Applicable to: World-Wide

System Board Replacement: When installing a replacement system board or re-installing the existing system board, care must be taken to avoid bending the metal fingers on the EMC shield. When properly seated, the thin fingers will be in place over the USB, mouse/keyboard, and ethernet port connectors. To install the system board, first angle the system board downward and under the EMC shield fingers to prevent bending or damaging the fingers.

Attention 1. The vital product data (VPD) and latest level of BIOS for the system you are servicing must be installed on the new system board. To do this, you must run the Flash Update program using the Flash Update diskette shipped with the new system board FRU. A down level BIOS may cause false error and unnecessary replacement of the system board. 2. The processor and memory modules are separate FRUs. Remove them from the old system board and install them on the new one. 3. Be sure the new system board jumper setting match the old system board jumper settings.

If replacing the system board doesn't correct the problem, do the following:

1. Reinstall the options (processor, etc) on the old system board and reinstall it in the system.
2. Replace the processor.
