Replacing the front air filter
Use this illustration as a reference. The front air filter is used with the Intake Air Duct Rack Kit. The
chassis is shown in a flush-mount rack configuration, but the mounting of the air filter is the same
for the recessed-mount rack configuration.

Removing a front air filter
Complete the following steps to remove an air filter from the air intake.
1. While holding the air filter in place, unscrew the five captive mounting screws using the #2
Phillips screwdriver.
2. Carefully remove the air filter from the air intake.
To avoid having captured particulates drawn into the chassis, remove the filter in a fashion that
maintains the orientation of the filter relative to the system until the filter is 12 inches away
from the intake.
