6-5 Installing the Air Shroud

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The air shroud for the SC818GTQ chassis does not require screws to set up.

Installing the Air Shroud

1.Position the air shroud in the chassis as illustrated above.

2.Align the notch (A) on the air shroud with the pin (B) on the add-on card bracket.

3.Slide the pin (B) into the back of the notch (A)

4.Lower the front of the air shroud over the fan tray, sliding the front notches

(C) over the pins on the fan tray (D).

Checking the Air Flow

Checking the Server's Air Flow

1.Make sure there are no wires or other objects obstructing the airflow in and out of the server. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path.

2.Do not operate the server without all drive carriers installed in the drive bays. Use only recommended server parts.

3.The control panel LEDs inform you of the overall system status. See “Chapter 3 System Interface” for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
