Air Filter

Page 39 highlights

9 Air Filter A factory-installed air filter is shipped with the E-Series system. The hot-swappable air filter prevents large particles, debris, and dust from entering and circulating through the system, and ensures proper air flow. Inspected monthly and replace them at least every twelve months. To install the filter, orient it so that the label "This Side Up" is facing upward. Guide the filter into the slot until it makes contact with the back of the chassis. An improperly installed air filter restricts air flow and generates thermal problems throughout the chassis. Ensure that the air filter is oriented correctly and seated securely in the slot. To remove the filter, pull it straight out of the chassis. Do not operate the chassis without a filter for longer than 3 minutes to avoid card over-temperature conditions. Figure 9-1. Installing the Air Filter in an E600i Air Filter | 39

A factory-installed air filter is shipped with the E-Series system. The hot-swappable air filter prevents
large particles, debris, and dust from entering and circulating through the system, and ensures proper air
flow. Inspected monthly and replace them at least every twelve months.
To install the filter, orient it so that the label “This Side Up” is facing upward. Guide the filter into the slot
until it makes contact with the back of the chassis. An improperly installed air filter restricts air flow and
generates thermal problems throughout the chassis. Ensure that the air filter is oriented correctly and
seated securely in the slot.
To remove the filter, pull it straight out of the chassis. Do not operate the chassis without a filter for
longer than 3 minutes to avoid card over-temperature conditions.
