Replacing the hard disk drive fan duct

This procedure applies only to the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies (Model name: 2582-F4x).

Attention
To ensure proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the server for more than 30 minutes with the side cover removed.

  2. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the system board facing up.
    Attention
    Do not allow the server to fall over.
  3. Lower the hard disk drive fan duct into the chassis, making sure the two guide pins and two latches on the chassis protrude through the respective holes on the hard disk drive fan duct.
