disconnected.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 54).
4. Make sure that PCI riser-card assembly 1 is removed if it is in long position and
sitting on the air baffle (see “Removing a PCI riser-card assembly” on page 55).
5. Align the air baffle with the two slots on both sides of chassis.
