Dell PowerEdge T320 Systems Owner's Manual

Removing The Cooling Shroud

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

CAUTION: Never operate your system with the cooling shroud removed. The system may get overheated quickly, resulting in shutdown of the system and loss of data.

Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.
If applicable, rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on its side on a flat, stable surface.
- NOTE: For systems installed with the wheel assembly, ensure that you lay the system on a sturdy, stable surface with the wheel assembly extending off the edge of the surface.
Open the system.
Lift the cooling shroud away from the system.
