Removing the Processor Air Dam (if required)
If you are using a server board that includes sockets for two processors and you install only a single processor or remove the second processor, you must install the processor air dam in the location for processor 2. If you install two processors, do not install the processor air dam.
For instructions on adding or replacing a processor, first remove the processor air duct and the processor air dam, and then see your server board User Guide for instructions on processor installations and removals. Return to these instructions to reinstall the processor air dam and processor air duct.
Removing the Processor Air Dam
The air dam is installed only on a server board that supports two processors but only one processor is to be installed. Remove the air dam only if you will be installing a second processor.
1To remove the air dam, disengage the tabs on the air dam to pull it from under the sides of the retention mechanism as shown.
2Save the air dam to replace it over the CPU2 socket in case the second processor is removed.
