13.2 Air Baffle

The hp workstation xw6000 (Configuration 1) uses a single air baffle that controls airflow for the two chassis-mounted CPU fans. The hp workstation xw6000 (configuration 2) and xw4000 do not use an air baffle. To remove the air baffle on the hp workstation xw6000 (Configuration 1):

1.Prepare the computer for disassembly.

2.Remove the access panel.

Although it is not required, the rest of this procedure is more easily performed with the system unit in the desktop (horizontal) position.

3.The air baffle is removed by lifting it straight up from the fans and processor heat sinks.
