Replacing the Air Filter

The fan tray module includes a removable air filter (located within the fan assembly,
immediately inside the perforated grill). The air filter should be replaced approximately
every 90 days and should be checked weekly to ensure it is not saturated and that it does
not require cleaning / replacement. You should clean the air filter no more than three times,
after which the air filter should be replaced. Cleaning or replacing the air filter can be
carried out while the system is fully functioning.
Warnings:
To clean / replace the air filter, take these 7 steps:
1. Release the two screws on the top right-hand corner and the bottom right-hand corner
of the front panel of the fan tray unit.
2. Pull the fan tray unit outward. The figure below below shows the fan try unit slightly
extracted.

•
When removing the Fan Tray unit while the power is on (or after it has
recently been switched off), the blades may still be rotating at a high
speed. Therefore, to avoid bodily harm ensure that you don't touch the
fan blades.
•
Before removing the Fan Tray unit for cleaning the air filter, prepare all
the required equipment. It is imperative that the chassis does not remain
without the fan tray unit for a long period of time. Ensure that you re-
insert the Fan Tray unit (without the air filter) while you are cleaning the
air filter, and then re-insert the air filter as soon as it is clean.
