Installing and Removing the
Thermal Air Guide
On the right side of the housing, a metal thermal air guide directs the
hot air from the disk drives to the fan exhausts on the rear of the
housing. The air guide helps in maintaining good air circulation within
the housing.
You have to remove the thermal air guide to access the right
backplane board or the power backplane connectors.
To avoid electric shock and damage to the
system, DO NOT perform the following
procedure while the system is ON.
