Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance
5-7 Installing the Air Shroud
The air shroud helps cool the chassis by directing heated air through the rear of the chassis. When installing the air fan, be aware of the following:
•The air shroud is designed to fit within the chassis. The sides of the air shroud should remain straight in relation to the top. Do not fold or bend the air shroud.
•The air shroud has perforated tabs that can be removed if motherboard com- ponents prevent proper air shroud installation. Do not remove a tab unless it is necessary.
