Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

4-7 Installing the Air Shroud

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SC846 chassis air

shroud does not require screws to set up.

Installing the Air Shroud

1. Power down the system as described in section 4-2 and remove the cover as

described in Section 4-1.

Confirm that your air shroud matches your chassis model. Each shroud is labeled

SC846LP, SC846RC, or SC846U.

Disconnect the power supply, lay the chassis on a flat surface, and open the

chassis cover.

Place air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits behind the two fans closest

to the power supply.
