It's a piece of plastic that guides air. Shroud, baffle, duct, whatever you want to call it. I've run plenty of servers without them just fine. The fans push enough air on their own. You really only need it if you're running hot due to a lot of drives, cards, or sustained CPU or RAM usage.
And honestly, I'm not sure that this one would be doing very much anyway, considering the other CPU and RAM won't have one.
Clearly you neither read my post nor looked into what the air baffle in the T320 actually looks like. So whats your point?
I both read it and looked up a picture of the part as used in the T320 and T420. My points were in my first comment.
I don't understand why people ask for advice, and when someone gives their thoughts and experience, they get combative.
