Removing the microprocessor 2 air baffle
When you work with some optional devices, you must first remove the
microprocessor 2 air baffle to access certain components. The following illustration
shows how to remove the microprocessor 2 air baffle.
To remove the microprocessor 2 air baffle, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 37.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables (see “Turning off the server” on page 22).
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 45).
4. Remove PCI riser-card assembly 2 if one is installed (see “Removing a PCI
riser-card assembly” on page 46).
5. Grasp the top of the air baffle and lift the air baffle out of the server.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace all air baffles before you
turn on the server. Operating the server with any air baffle removed might
damage server components.
