9-8 Upgrading Your Server

Processor Air Duct

To install or remove the DIMM or processor, you will need to remove the air duct.

IMPORTANT:

Do not assemble the server without installing the air

duct. No duct installed in the system reduces cooling efficiency and can
affect performance or cause damage due to overheating.

Removal

Follow these steps to remove the air duct.

See the section "Preparing for Installation and Removal" described earlier to prepare.

Position the server unit on its right side.

Remove the side cover.

Hold the left side of the air duct, and push the right end of the tab to release from the
chassis.

Remove the duct from the chassis.
