Air Duct Removal / Installation

To maintain system thermals for air-cooled modules, the air duct must always be in place when the system is
operational. Removal of the air duct is necessary when installing or replacing any system component within
the module.
The figures below show the air duct for D50TNP1MHCPAC. However, the steps of air duct removal and
installation in this section apply to modules with the following iPCs: D50TNP1MHCPAC, D50TNP1MHCRAC,
D50TNP2MHSVAC, and D50TNP2MFALAC.
Required Tools and Supplies:
•
Anti-static wrist strap and conductive workbench pad (recommended)
