Dell 1600SC manual Checking the Equipment, Removing the Baffle, Installing the Baffle

The vertical plastic baffle in the center of the system improves system cooling by guiding the airflow within the system. You must remove the baffle when performing certain procedures inside the system to improve access to some internal components.

Removing the Baffle

To remove the baffle, lift the release tab at the end of the baffle near the front of the system, depress the release tab at the back end of the baffle, and slide the baffle upward.

NOTICE: You must reinstall the baffle to maintain proper airflow for system cooling.

Installing the Baffle

When you install the baffle, note the proper position of the back edge of the baffle in Figure 5-4. After aligning both ends of the baffle, slide the baffle into the system until the release tabs lock into place.
