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