Mac Pro Late 2013 Logic Board Replacement

Introducción

Use this guide to replace the logic board.

Removing the logic board means you'll need to reapply a layer of thermal compound.

Before beginning any work on your Mac Pro: Unplug the computer and press and hold the power button for ten seconds to discharge the power supply's capacitors.

Be very careful not to touch the capacitor leads or any exposed solder joints on the back of the power supply. Only handle the board by the edges.

The RAM/CPU board is only attached to the thermal core around the processor area. This means seating RAM modules can flex the board (which has no support under the RAM sockets) so take extra care seating RAM modules.
