Middle air baffle installation

  1. Align the middle air baffle tabs with the baffle slots located on both sides of the compute node in between DIMM connectors 1 to 8 and 9 to 16.
  2. Lower the middle air baffle into the compute node and press it down until it is securely seated.
    Attention
    • For proper cooling and airflow, reinstall the middle air baffle before you turn on the compute node. Operating the node without the middle air baffle might damage node components.

    • Pay attention to the cables routed along the sidewalls of the compute node as they may catch under the middle air baffle.
