Replacing The Air Filter - Spectra Logic T-Series Spectra T950 User Manual

Replacing the Air Filter

The library's fan module is protected by a removable air filter, which catches
contaminants as the fans pull cool air into the library. A clogged air filter can cause
operational problems due to excessive temperatures inside the library.
You should inspect the filter at least once every three months for preventative
maintenance. If the air filter is clogged, replace it immediately.
Caution: 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.
After replacing the filter, clean all tape drives. Use your backup software to perform
the drive cleaning operation.
To order replacement filters, contact your sales representative; see Contacting Spectra
Logic Sales on page 170.
