Air Filter

A factory-installed air filter is shipped with the E-Series system. The hot-swappable air filter prevents

large particles, debris, and dust from entering and circulating through the system, and ensures proper air

flow. Inspected monthly and replace them at least every twelve months.

To install the filter, orient it so that the label “This Side Up” is facing upward. Guide the filter into the slot

until it makes contact with the back of the chassis. An improperly installed air filter restricts air flow and

generates thermal problems throughout the chassis. Ensure that the air filter is oriented correctly and

seated securely in the slot.

To remove the filter, pull it straight out of the chassis. Do not operate the chassis without a filter for

longer than 3 minutes to avoid card over-temperature conditions.
