Replacing the Chassis Air Filter
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are equipped with user-replaceable air filters that help prevent dust from
being drawn into the router. One time per month (or more often in dusty environments), examine the air filters
for damage and cleanliness.
Note In the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router,
and Cisco ASR 9910 Router, the chassis air filter is not serviceable. We recommend that you replace the filter
at regular maintenance intervals. The interval may vary between 3 and 12 months depending on the environment.
Note In the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router, the three air filters (left, center, and right) contain
foam media which filters the air going into the chassis. The three air filters can be removed from the chassis
so that the foam media (Cisco PIDs 9922-CEN-FLTRMED= and 9922-LR-FLTRMED=) can be replaced on
a regular maintenance interval. The interval may vary between 3 and 12 months depending on the environment.
Caution Damage to the air filter can restrict the airflow, cause overheating in the router, and degrade electromagnetic
interference (EMI) compliance. Be careful when cleaning and replacing the filter.
This table describes the air filter locations for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
