Installing the cooling shroud

Prerequisites

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 are shipped with your product.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
CAUTION: Do not operate the system with the cover removed for a duration exceeding 5 minutes.
NOTE: For proper seating of the cooling shroud in the system chassis, ensure that the cables inside the system are routed along the chassis wall and secured using the cable securing clips.

Steps

  1. Align the slots on the cooling shroud with the tabs on the internal cooling fan.
  2. Lower the cooling shroud into the system until the slots on the cooling shroud are flush with the tabs on the internal cooling fan.
    NOTE: When the cooling shroud is properly seated, the guide pin on the cooling shroud engages with the t-handle post on the system board.
