Cooling Shroud

The cooling shroud directs airflow over the system processor and memory
modules.

WARNING:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this
procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

WARNING:

The memory modules and heat sink can get very hot during normal

operation. Ensure that the memory modules and heat sink have had sufficient time
to cool before you touch it.

Never operate your system with the cooling shroud removed.

Overheating of the system can develop quickly, resulting in shutdown of the
system and loss of data.
