Visually check the condition of the air filter to determine whether to clean it or
install a new replacement.
Dirty—You can vacuum or replace the filter.

the air filter completely before you clean it to prevent contaminants from being
drawn into the bays or cage.
Worn or torn—If the filter appears worn or torn, dispose of it in a responsible
•
manner and install a replacement air filter (12000/16-FILTER=).
Slide the new or cleaned air filter into the air filter door.
Close the air filter door and tighten the 4 captive screws.
Align and seat the door carefully to avoid damaging the
EMI-preventive gasket contacts on the door. The air filter door must
be closed and secured at all times to maintain correct
EMI performance.
The illustrations in this procedure represent both the original and newer enhanced
capacity blower modules for Cisco 12016 series routers. Depending on your
system, these components may not look exactly like those in your chassis, but the
removal and replacement procedures are essentially the same.
There are currently two types of blower modules in use for the Cisco 12016
series routers; blowers that shipped with original systems, and enhanced capacity
blowers that ship with current systems.
