Replacing the air baffle
To install the air baffle, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 25.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables (see “Turning off the server” on page 14).
3. Make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed.
4. Align the air baffle with the slots on the chassis; then, lower the air baffle into
the server.

5. Install the server top cover (see “Replacing the server top cover”).
6. Reconnect the power cord and any cables that you removed.
7. Turn on the peripheral devices and the server.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the air baffle before turning
on the server. Operating the server with an air baffle removed might damage
server components.
Replacing the server top cover
To replace the server top cover, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and
seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the server.
Also, make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed.
Important: Before you slide the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on
both the front, rear, and side of the cover engage the chassis
correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will
be very difficult to remove the cover later.
2. Position the cover on top of the server so that approximately 13 mm (0.5 inch)
extends from the rear.
