Overview

An HP AB312-3405A air baffle is provided to improve air flow over HP AM225A, AM232A, and AM233A cards that are installed in HP Integrity rx7640 and rx8640 servers.

Installing the air baffle

To install the air baffle, follow these steps:

1.Install the card into the server and close the blue locker.

2.Determine the correct orientation of the air baffle. The thicker end tab must be installed between the PCI bay’s blue lockers; the thinner end tab must be installed facing the fan bay.

4.Compress the thicker end tab and slide it between the blue lockers; then push the baffle slowly down and into place, using very light pressure.

CAUTION: Do not force the baffle into place; this might damage the card. If you encounter resistance, remove the baffle and repeat steps 3 and 4.
