Cooling Shroud

The cooling shroud produces and directs airflow over the system memory modules.

CAUTION: The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the DIMMs to cool before handling them.

NOTICE: Never operate your system with the memory cooling shroud removed. Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the system and the loss of data.

Removing the Cooling Shroud

1The cooling shroud is secured with a latch at the end of the shroud. Release the latch by pulling it towards the outside wall of the chassis. See Figure 3-9.

2Rotate the shroud upward and toward the front of the system on its hinges, and then lift the shroud out of the system.
