Removing A Thermal Blank - Intel SR870BN4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Removing a Thermal Blank

Your server may have from one to four processors (B in Figure 89) installed in the
processor/memory module. Each processor has its associated power pod (A in Figure 89). If a
processor slot does not have a processor and its associated power pod installed, a thermal blank to
properly direct cooling airflow must be installed.
To remove a thermal blank:
1. Squeeze the sides of the thermal blank together (C in Figure 89) to release the side tabs (D in
Figure 89) from the power pod frame and lift the thermal blank up to remove.
