Removing and Installing the Processor Air Duct

Always operate your Altos R510's chassis with the processor air duct in place. The air duct is required for
proper airflow within the chassis.
For instructions on adding or replacing a processor, first remove the processor air duct and the processor air
dam, and then see page 83 for instructions on processor installations and removals. Return to these
instructions to reinstall the processor air dam and processor air duct after installing your processor and heat
sink.
Removing the Processor Air Duct
1.
Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see "Removing the Chassis Cover."
2.
Lift the processor air duct from its location over the two processor sockets.
Installing the Processor Air Duct
1.
If you are installing the processor air duct for the first time after installing a second processor, break out
the airflow tab over on the side of the processor air duct that will fit over the CPU2 processor socket.
2.
Place the processor air duct over the two processor sockets, regardless of whether one or two processors
is installed. The front edge of the air duct should contact the front fan module and the top of the installed
air duct should be flush with the top surface of the power supply. Use caution not to pinch or disengate
cables that may be near or under the air duct.
