Installing 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: 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.
1. Align the two slots on the cooling shroud with the tabs on the internal cooling fan.
2. Lower the cooling shroud into the chassis until the two slots on the cooling shroud are flush with the tabs on the
internal cooling fan.
NOTE: When the cooling shroud is properly seated, the chassis intrusion-switch on the cooling shroud
connects to the chassis intrusion-switch connector on the system board.
3. Close the system.
4. If applicable, place the system upright on a flat, stable surface and rotate the system feet outward.
5. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.
