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.

Steps

  1. Align the slot on the cooling shroud with the pin on the cooling fan assembly.
    When aligned, the slots on the other edge of the shroud align with the release pins on the hard drive backplane.
  2. Lower the cooling shroud into the chassis.
  3. Press down the shroud over the release pins on the hard drive backplane, until it is firmly seated.
  4. Close the system.
  5. If applicable, place the system upright on a flat, stable surface and rotate the system feet outward.
  6. If removed, reinstall the hard drives, server modules, and power supplies.
  7. Reconnect the enclosure to its electrical outlet and turn the enclosure on, including any attached peripherals.
  8. Turn on the server modules using the operating system commands or the CMC.
  9. If applicable, install the front bezel.
