Built to IBM Specifications

An OEM part number like 52G7016 helps ensure the board matches the chassis, ports and internal cabling of the system it was designed for.

Installing the 52G7016

Follow ESD precautions and the system's service manual when replacing the board. Some OEM systems store the Windows product key and serial number in firmware, so check activation after the swap.
