Step 3
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.
Caution
Do not vacuum the air filter while it is installed in the chassis. You must remove
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 (ACS-GSR16-FLTR=).
Step 4
Position the metal braces on the back of the air filter to face toward the switch
fabric and alarm card cage. Slide the new or cleaned air filter into the air filter
door (

).
