3. Press the handle toward the opening and lower the air baffle so that the lip on

the right side of the baffle covers the lip on the side of the power-supply cage.

4. Press the DIMM air baffle into place.

5. Install the cover (see “Installing the cover” on page 91).

6. Slide the server into the rack.

7. Reconnect the external cables; then, reconnect the power cords and turn on the

Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the air baffle before turning on

the server. Operating the server with an air baffle removed might damage server

components.

Removing the riser-card assembly

The server comes with one riser-card assembly that contains two PCI Express x8

connectors. You can replace the riser-card assembly with one that contains two

PCI-X 64-bit 133 MHz connectors that support single-width IXA adapters. See the

ServerProven

list at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/

for a list of riser-card assemblies that you can use with the server.
