The cooling shroud produces and directs airflow over the system memory modules.
CAUTION: The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the DIMMs to cool before handling
them.
NOTICE: Never operate your system with the memory cooling shroud removed. Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown
of the system and the loss of data.

Removing the Cooling Shroud

1. The cooling shroud is secured with a latch at the end of the shroud. Release the latch by pulling it towards the outside wall of the chassis. See
10.
2. Rotate the shroud upward and toward the front of the system on its hinges, and then lift the shroud out of the system.
