7.2
Air Duct Removal / Installation
To maintain system thermals, 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.
Air duct construction and attachment method are similar for all half-width air-cooled modules
D50DNP1MHCPAC, D50DNP1MHEVAC, and D50DNP2MHSVAC. The D50DNP2MFALAC module is slightly
different and the changes in construction are reflected in the corresponding illustrations.
Note: Air ducts are not used with liquid-cooled modules.
