Replacing the microprocessor air baffle

Use this information to replace the microprocessor air baffle.

To install the microprocessor air baffle, complete the following steps:

  1. Read the safety information and installation guidelines, see Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Align the tabs on the air baffle behind the latches (front and rear latches) of the two DIMMs closest to the microprocessor (DIMM on the left and DIMM on the right of the microprocessor); then, lower the air baffle down until it is seated firmly.
    Note
    The microprocessor air baffle is only required when there are no DIMMs in the connectors adjacent (on the left and the right) to the microprocessor.
