Air filter removal and replacement
You can remove and replace an air filter when it gets too clogged with dirt and dust to operate
efficiently. You should perform regular physical inspections to determine how often to replace the
air filter. Maintaining clean air filters ensures optimal airflow through the devices.
Based on the traffic and particulate levels of the installation location, the site operator should
determine the appropriate replacement intervals for the air filter.
If the air filter were to become sufficiently blocked, the thermal policy of the device would notify the
administrator of an environmental issue with the system.
If a site-specific interval cannot be determined by the site operator, the filter should be replaced on
an interval of every 3 months.
The filters are single use and non-recyclable. They have a UL fire rating of FLAME RETARDANT, UL
94HF-1 UAF and PPI measurement of 25.
The chassis is shown in a two-post mid-mount rack configuration, but the mounting of the air filter
is the same for any rack mount. Refer to
Figure 25 .
