Replacing the Air Filter

Before You Begin

A set of fans mounted in the lower front of the library pull cool air into the library and
circulate it to maintain the temperature within an acceptable range. The air filter
ensures that the air pulled into the library is free of contaminants. A clogged air filter
can cause operational problems due to excessive temperatures inside the library.
Inspect the filter at least once every three months for preventive maintenance. If the air
filter is clogged, replace it immediately.
Note:
Some environments may require more frequent filter inspection
and replacement. If an air filter gets clogged quickly, consider
moving the library to a more dust-free location or improve the
environment where it is located.
To order replacement filters, contact your sales representative (see Contacting Spectra
Logic on page 4).
