to access certain components or connectors on the system board. The following
illustration shows how to remove the air baffle.
About this task
To remove the air baffle, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 283.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables (see “Turning off the server” on page 40).
3. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the top cover” on page 146).
4. Remove PCI riser-card assemblies, if needed (see Removing a riser-card
