Routine Maintenance Procedures for the PTX5000 Packet Transport Router on page 479
For optimum performance, perform preventive maintenance procedures.
On a regular basis:
Inspect the installation site for moisture, loose wires or cables, and excessive dust.
Make sure that airflow is unobstructed around the packet transport router and into the
air intake vents.
Check the status-reporting devices on the craft interface: system alarms, LEDs, and
the craft interface display.
Inspect all air filters in the packet transport router for dust and debris.
As a general guideline, we recommended that you replace the filter elements every 6
months for routers operating in a typical environment. The filter elements degrade
over time, and replacement intervals will vary by operating environment.
NOTE:
Do not run the packet transport router for more than a few minutes
without all the air filters in place.
