components in the system to communicate.
Removing the system board
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
If you are using the Trusted Platform 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 drives.
CAUTION: You may find the CMOS battery loss or CMOS checksum error displayed during the first instance of
powering on the system after the processor or system board replacement which is expected. To fix this, go to
setup option to configure the system settings.
