5-11 Installing the Air Shroud

Air Shrouds

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SCF424 chassis
requires an air shroud in each motherboard node.
Installing the Air Shroud
1. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of the
power supply as described in Section 5-2. Remove the node from the chas-
sis as described in Section 5-3 and place the node on a flat, stable surface.
Remove the cover from the node as described in Section 5-5.
2. Make sure that the motherboard and all components are properly installed in
each motherboard node.
3. Place the air shroud over the motherboard, as illustrated below. The air
shroud sits behind the system fans and goes over the top of the motherboard
and its components.
4. Repeat the procedure for the remaining three motherboard nodes.
