Install the Air Duct

Perform this task when you have previously removed the air duct.

1. Move any loose cables to the gap between the DIMMs and the server walls.

   ---

   Note -  Ensure that all cables clear the air duct and other components. The space around the NVMe cables is especially tight.

   ---

2. Align the air duct to where it installs into the server.
   
3. Lower the air duct onto the alignment pins.
4. Route the cables through the cable ties on the air duct and cutouts in the air duct.
5. Attach the cables to the air duct.
6. Set the left (L) thumbscrew bracket over the alignment pins, and slide it backward.
   
7. Tighten the thumbscrew.
   
8. Install the PSU duct.

   See Install the PSU Duct.

9. Consider your next step.
   • If you installed the air and PSU ducts as part of another component's service procedure, return to that procedure.

     See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.

   • Otherwise, secure the drive cage.
