Installing System Components


NOTE: The air duct configuration differs with the number of processors installed
on the system board. For two-processor configuration, only the air duct 3 is
installed between the processors 1 and 2; for four-processor configuration, the air

ducts 1, 2 and 3 should all be installed. The Figure 3-7 shows the four-processor
configuration.

1 Align the air ducts to the system-board assembly and heat sinks by the

rivet holes. See Figure 3-7.

2 Replace the rivets to secure the air ducts to the system-board assembly

and heat sinks. See Figure 3-7.
