Cleaning the dust filter
Your LifeBook is equipped with fans to make air flow inside by pulling in outside air to cool the inside of
the system. Depending on the environment in which the system is used, dust and dirt may be pulled in
along with the air. Accumulated dust and dirt could impair the function of the system.
1
Turn off your computer and disconnect the AC adapter.
2
Close the display panel and turn the system upside down.
3
Remove the dust filter access cover by pressing the latch toward the center of the cover and lifting it out (Fig.19).
4
Carefully clean the embedded dust filter and the air-cooling duct using a vacuum cleaner attachment (such as
an extension wand).
