Installing the Processor Air Dam

The air dam is installed on a server board that supports two processors but only one processor is to
be installed. Remove the air dam only if you will be installing a second processor. If you have
removed the second processor from the server, install the processor air dam as follows:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See
Information."
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable or DC
external source.
3. Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see
4. Remove the processor air duct. For instructions, see
5. Turn the processor air duct over to reveal the underside of it.
6. Install one end of the air dam by sliding the slotted holes onto the matching pins in the air duct.
7. Install the opposite end of the air dam, while holding the center of the air dam out, so it pushes
away from the air duct.
8. Install the processor air duct. For instructions, see
9. Install the chassis cover. For instructions, see
10. Plug in all peripheral devices and connect the AC power cable or DC external source to the
server.

Removing and Installing the Air Baffles

Some installation processes will require that you remove the air baffle(s). Depending on your server
configuration, you will have either one or two air baffles. If your system uses a hot-swap
backplane, you have two air baffles:
A small air baffle is attached to the drive cage area, in front of the backplane.
A large air baffle is installed between the power supply and the back of the backplane. The
large air baffle differs, depending upon whether you have an AC or a DC model of the server
chassis.
If your system uses fixed drives, you have one air baffle that is attached between the power supply
and the drive cage area.
The steps below describe how to remove and then install the air baffle(s). Use these steps only
when it is indicated as necessary for a component installation process. Always operate your server
chassis with the air baffle(s) in place. Air baffles are required for proper airflow within the chassis.
