Replacing the air baffle

Use this information to replace the air baffle.

Note
When you install the second microprocessor, you must also install fan 2 and the air baffle that come with the second microprocessor upgrade kit.

To replace the air baffle, complete the following steps:

  1. Read the safety information that begins in Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Turn off the server (see Turning off the server) and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables as necessary to replace the device.
  3. Remove the left-side cover (see Removing the left-side cover).
  4. Remove the existing air baffle (see Removing the air baffle).
  5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the air baffle; then, remove the air baffle from the package.
  6. Slide the air baffle down into the server until the tabs fit into the locating holes.


If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to Completing the installation.
