System Board Shroud - Dell PowerEdge R415 Owner's Manual

System Board Shroud

The system board shroud covers the processors, heat sinks, and memory
modules, and provides air flow to these components. Airflow is facilitated by
the cooling fan modules and the system board shroud directs the airflow over
these components.
Removing the System Board Shroud
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is
not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that
came with the product.
CAUTION:
Never operate your system with the system board shroud removed.
The system may get overheated quickly, resulting in shutdown and loss of data.
1 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 82.
2 Remove the cables that are routed through the cable holders on the system
board shroud.
3 Grasp the two shroud tabs with blue dots between the fan assemblies and
gently lift the shroud. See Figure 3-16.
4 Grasping the shroud by its edges, gently remove the shroud straight up and
away from the system board. See Figure 3-16.
