Removing and installing air ducts, air
dams, and baffle
Your server has been engineered to provide correct airflow in the chassis for sufficient
cooling of drives, processors, and power supplies. As your server configuration changes,
the airflow within the chassis will need to be modified to accommodate those changes.
Removing the processor air duct
The processor air duct normally covers the portion of the system board that includes the
processor(s) and the memory. The duct will need to be removed if you need to add or
remove a processor or memory in your system or if you need to replace the system board.
To remove the processor air duct:
1
Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 37 . Make
that sure you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
2
Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 38 .
3
Lift the processor air duct from the chassis.
Caution To ensure continued, reliable operation, always operate your server
with the appropriate air ducts, air dams, and baffle in place. Failure
to do this could result in equipment damage due to incorrect cooling.
