CAUTION: If the captive screws cannot be fastened, the power supply may not
have been properly seated. Remove and replace the supply.
9 Insert the power cord connector into the power socket on the power supply and
lower the retention clip.
Over time, the filter on the power supply accumulates dust, which interferes with
the heat dissipation of the chassis. It is important to periodically clean the filter as
described below:
1 Remove the gauze filter by gently pulling it from the front of the power supply.
2 Take the filter to a fresh water supply and clean it.
3 Leave the filter to dry. Do not use heat to dry the filter as this may cause it to
distort.
4 When the filter is completely dry, gently push it back into the front of the power
supply.
CAUTION: Do not clean the filter while it is in position at the front of the power
supply. Attempts to do so could result in damage to the equipment or severe
electrical shock.
