For dual processor configurations, the air dam must be snapped off of the CPU air duct. Failure
to remove the air dam will prevent the installation of the air duct into the system. Once removed,
the air damn cannot be re-connected to the air duct.
Figure 15. CPU Air Duct
Note: IMPORTANT: With only one processor installed in the system, do NOT remove the air
dam from the underside of the CPU air duct. With the air dam removed, the system fans cannot
provide adequate air flow through the processor heat sink, causing the processor to over heat.
Once the air dam is removed from the CPU air duct, it cannot be reinstalled.
4.4 Drive Bay Population Requirement
The hard drive bays must be populated in order to maintain system thermal requirements. Hard
drive trays used for both hot-swap drives and cabled drives must either have a hard drive or
drive blank installed in them. Inserting a drive tray into the system with no hard drive or drive
blank installed may prevent the system from meeting its thermal requirements.
