For proper cooling and airflow, reinstall the air baffle before you turn on the server. Operating the server with the air baffle removed might damage server components.
Procedure
The illustrated air baffle is a standard air baffle. The installation method is the same for the GPU air baffle.
- (Optional) If a performance heat sink or a Direct Water Cooling Module (DWCM) is installed, install an air baffle filler to fill the gap between the heat sink and the air baffle.Note
If performance heat sinks are replaced with a DWCM, make sure to paste the Mylar on the outside of the standard air baffle filler as follows.
The following illustration shows the air baffle upside down.
