Removing and Installing the Small Air Baffle
Some installation processes will require that you remove the small air baffle that is placed behind the hard drive bays, near the front of your server. The steps below describe how to remove and then install the small air baffle. Use these steps only when it is indicated as necessary for a component installation process.
Always operate your server system with the small air baffle in place. The small air baffle is required for proper airflow within the server system.
