Removing the Cooling Shield
A cooling shield covers bays 5 and 6 to provide proper cooling and
EMI protection. The cooling shield must be removed before
installing a hard drive in either of these bay locations.
To remove a cooling shield:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the power cord
from the grounded AC outlet.
2. Remove the workstation access panel. See “Removing the
Workstation Access Panel” in this chapter.
3. Remove the front bezel. See “Removing the Front Bezel” in this
chapter.
4. Remove the two torx screws holding the cooling shield to the
chassis. See the following illustration.
