Maintaining the MX2020 Air Vents

For optimum cooling, verify the condition of the air vents. Dust can clog air vents, reducing

cooling system efficiency.

On a regular basis, check the vents and clean them as necessary.

For optimum cooling, verify the condition of the air filter.

Regularly inspect the air filter. A dirty air filter restricts airflow in the unit, producing a

negative effect on the ventilation of the chassis. The filter degrades over time. You

must replace the filter every 6 months.

Always keep the air filter in place while the router is operating.

Because the fans are very powerful, they could pull small bits of wire or

other materials into the router through the unfiltered air intake. This could

damage the router components.

Use spare filters within 1 year of manufacture. Check the date of manufacture printed

on the filter. Store spare air filters in a dark, cool, and dry place. Storing air filters at

higher temperatures, or where they can be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation,

hydrocarbon emissions, or vapors from solvents, can significantly reduce their life.

For optimum cooling, verify the condition of the air baffle. To direct exhaust air away

from the router, the louvers on the air baffle must be set to a 90-degree angle see

(Figure 172 on page

The air baffle is optional.
