Filters
Many factors exist that contribute to the need to regularly service the air
filters. For example, the total number of tape drives and the operating
environment greatly affect the rate at which debris accumulates in the air
filters.
With the maximum number of tape drives operating in a normal data
center environment, you should check the filters every two years. If you
see dust and debris on the inlet side of the filters, remove the filters and
use water and a mild soap to clean them. The materials in the filters should
last for the life of the product. However, if abnormal contamination
occurs, you should replace them. To order filters, contact your service
representative.
