3.5.2 Replacing the Motherboard
After removing all of those cables, follow these instructions to
replace the motherboard in your FT48-B5382.
1. Remove the heatsinks and processors if installed.
2. Remove the nine screws securing the motherboard to the
chassis.
3. Carefully lift the motherboard from the chassis.
NOTE: The motherboard is fitted tightly into the chassis and
will not lift straight out. You will need to lift one side of the
board first and slide it out.
