Removing the air baffle from a 9009-41A, 9009-41G, 9009-42A, 9009-42G, 9223-42H, or 9223-42S system

Use this procedure to remove the air baffle from a IBM® Power® System S914 (9009-41A and 9009-41G), IBM Power System S924 (9009-42A and 9009-42G), IBM Power System H924 (9223-42H), or IBM Power System H924S (9223-42S) server.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
  2. For a rack-mounted system, lift the air baffle (A) straight up as shown in Figure 1.
    For a stand-alone system, remove the air baffle (A) straight out as shown in Figure 2.

    Place the air baffle upside down on a clean area.
