Replacing the operating temperature enhancement kit

Use this information to replace the operating temperature enhancement kit

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

To install the operating temperature enhancement kit on the 4U server model with non-hot-swap power supplies, complete the following steps. For 5U server models with hot-swap power supplies, please see the next sub-section.

  1. Read the safety information in Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Insert the thermal sensor board into the thermal sensor holder. Make sure the cabling goes through the hole as shown in the illustration and connect the thermal sensor connector to the system board. Remember to close the cable clips to secure the cable.
