Removing and Replacing the Processor Airflow Guide
This section explains how to remove and replace the processor airflow guide. This airflow
guide on your system ensures that the proper volume of air for cooling the voltage
regulator modules (VRMs), processor(s), and processor power module(s) flows over these
components. See Figure 2-45. Note that air flows through the system from front to back.
This airflow guide may need to be replaced if it accidently becomes damaged to the point
that airflow across the processor(s) is restricted. This airflow guide may also need to be
removed to gain access to components under it.

To remove the processor airflow guide, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the system and disconnect all power and external cables.
2. Remove the system’s access panel(s) (refer to page 37 or page 41 for instructions).
Also, remove the IDE cable and power module cables from the processor airflow
guide (see Figure 2-45).
