Removing and Installing the Processor and
Memory Air Ducts
Always operate your server chassis with the processor and memory air ducts in place. The
air ducts are required for proper airflow within the chassis.
For instructions on adding or replacing a processor, first remove the processor and
memory air ducts, and then see your server board user guide for instructions on processor
installations and removals. Return to these instructions to reinstall the processor and
memory air ducts after installing your processor and heat sink.
