Remove the air baffle

CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.

To remove the component:

  1. Power down the server.
  2. Remove all power:
    1. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
    2. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
  3. Extend or remove the server from the rack.
  4. Remove the access panel.

    CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module. Detaching the cable causes any unsaved data in the cache module to be lost.

    IMPORTANT: It is necessary to remove the PCI riser cage only if there is a full-length expansion board installed.

  5. Release the full-length expansion board retainer, and then remove the PCI riser cage.
