Removing and installing air ducts and air
dams
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 only
the processor(s). The air duct will need to be removed if you need to add or remove a
processor 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 41 . Make
sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord(s) and all other cables
connected to the server.
2
Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 42 .
Caution To ensure continued, reliable operation, always operate your server
with the appropriate air ducts and air dams in place. Failure to do
this could result in equipment damage.
