Cooling Shroud
The cooling shroud produces and directs airflow over the system memory modules.
CAUTION: The DIMMs are hot to the touch for some time after the system has
been powered down. Allow the DIMMs to cool before handling them.
NOTICE: Never operate your system with the memory cooling shroud removed.
Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the
system and the loss of data.
Removing the Cooling Shroud
1 The cooling shroud is secured with a latch at the end of the shroud. Release
the latch by pulling it towards the outside wall of the chassis. See Figure 3-9.
2 Rotate the shroud upward and toward the front of the system on its hinges,
and then lift the shroud out of the system.
