Replacing the air filter in Brocade MLX and NetIron XMR 16-slot routers
Follow these steps to replace the air filter in a Brocade MLX or NetIron XMR 16-slot router.
1. Loosen the two screws in the front of the filter retainer.
2. Pull the filter retainer away from the router as shown in Figure 164.
There is a hook on the back of the retainer that is attached to the grab-strap. As you pull the
retainer out, the filter is pulled along with it.

3. Unhook the filter retainer from the air filter and discard the used filter.
4. Partially insert the replacement air filter by sliding it along the metal guides.
The filter is marked with an arrow that indicates how the filter should be installed in relation to
the direction of airflow in the router. Because air is pulled through the device, the arrow must
point up towards the fan tray.
5. Attach the hook on the back of the filter retainer to the filter grab-strap.
6. Push the filter retainer into the router and tighten the two screws.
