Installing a New Cooling Shroud
If a cooling shroud came with your microprocessor upgrade kit and your system is a
PowerEdge 1300 or PowerEdge 2300, you
must
install the cooling shroud provided in
the upgrade kit.
To install a cooling shroud, perform the following steps:
1. Carefully position the shroud into place with the square opening over the bulk-
head fan and the top of the shroud’s other end resting over the microprocessors,
as shown in Figure 1-11.
2. Gently squeeze the tabs to compress the latch as you lower the shroud on the
microprocessor’s heat sink and allow it to snap securely into place on the heat
sink(s).
