Opening and Closing the Chassis Door Description The metal fascia CVX 1800 has a hinged door to ensure proper airflow and cooling within the chassis. A closed door provides protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), and keeps the service modules securely in position.
CVX 1800 Hardware Installation Guide Opening and Closing the Chassis Door Opening the Door To open the chassis door, follow these steps: Step Action Using a flat-tip screwdriver, loosen the top and bottom screws on the door by turning them counterclockwise.
Removing the Chassis Door Description The chassis door protects the CVX 1800 and keeps it cool, so it is important that the door remain closed. However, when you need to perform maintenance on the CVX 1800, the door must be removed.
CVX 1800 Hardware Installation Guide Replacing the Chassis Air Filter Replacing the Chassis Air Filter Description The air filter provides dust-free air circulation throughout the chassis. A qualified service technician should inspect the air filter regularly to ensure that it is clean. A dirty filter causes inadequate air circulation and causes the chassis to overheat.
Metal Fascia Chassis Technical Specifications and Procedures Replacing the Chassis Air Filter Reinstalling the Air Filter To reinstall the chassis air filter, follow these steps: Step Action Insert the clean filter in the filter panel. Reinstall the filter panel by popping it over the studs in the chassis door. Close the chassis door.
