HP Recommended
Product: P420
Operating System: Other

Hi,

 

I recently purchased a HP P420 raid card. It came with a piece of clear removable plastic in between the raid card and the cache module. I'm just wondering whether this should be removed before operation?

 

The card is running a bit hot at the moment (85 degrees celcius at idle) and I'm concerned that this might be preventing heat from dissipating properly from certain parts of the board.
