Use this information to install the air baffle.

About this task

Attention

Procedure

  1. Make sure to close the retaining clips on each end of all the memory module connectors.
  2. Install the air baffle.
    1. Align the pins on air baffle with the pin holes on the sides of the compute node.
    2. Lower the air baffle into the compute node.
    3. Press the air baffle down until it is securely seated.

    Attention

    • For proper cooling and airflow, reinstall the air baffle before you turn on the compute node. Operating the compute node without the air baffle installed might damage compute node components.

    • To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the compute node without an M.2 backplane assembly or an M.2 backplane assembly filler installed on the air baffle.

After you finish
  1. Make sure either an M.2 backplane assembly or an M.2 backplane assembly filler is installed on the air baffle.

  2. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are left inside the compute node.

  3. Reinstall the compute node cover. See Install the compute node cover.

  4. Reinstall the compute node back to the chassis. See Install the compute node in chassis.

  5. Power on the compute node. See Power on the compute node.
