Air Filter Cleaning / Replacement
The Voyager Matrix Fiber Switch features filtered air cooling. A removable filter is located behind an access
panel on the right side when facing the front of the frame. This filter is easily removed by sliding out towards the
front.
It is important that the air filter be serviced periodically to ensure proper cooling of internal components. A
recommended starting point is to assume a service interval of 30 days. However, the required service interval
may vary, depending on the level of ambient dust and other contaminants.
Although the air filter should be replaced at each service interval, it is sometimes possible to extend the
replacement intervals by simply cleaning it with a suitable vacuum. Eventually you will need to actually replace
the air filter.
So as to not damage the filter,
do not vacuum the foam side of the filter.
It is not recommended to immerse the filter in water.
Remember to reset fan Filter Service Interval after each
cleaning/replacement (Settings

Apply).
