Removing the Processor Air Duct

Firepower Management Centers operate with processor air ducts in place. The air ducts are required for 
proper airflow within the chassis. It is necessary to remove the air ducts to gain full access to the DIMM 
sockets on the chassis. There are some differences between chassis models which are described in the 
following sections:

Removing the Processor Air Duct from Firepower Management Center 
750

The procedure for removing the air duct from a Firepower MC750 differs depending on the revision of 
the appliance (Rev. 1 or Rev. 2). See 

Figure A-4

 for an illustration of the MC750 Rev. 1 chassis. See 

Figure A-5

 for an illustration of the MC750 Rev. 2 chassis. 

To remove the processor air duct from a Firepower MC750:

Step 1

Observe the ESD precautions described in 

Working in an ESD Environment, page A-2

 and the safety 

precautions described in 

Safety Warnings, page A-2

.

Step 2

Lift the processor air duct from its location behind the system cooling fans:

For Rev. 1 chassis see “1” in 

Figure A-4

)

For Rev. 2 chassis see “1” in 

Figure A-5

).

Step 3

Set the air duct aside.
