Replacing the air lters
It is strongly recommended that routers be installed in environments that have minimal dust and airborne contaminants. If routers are
installed in environments where dust or other airborne contaminants may be present, air lters should be inspected and replaced as
needed. Maintaining clean air lters ensures optimal airow through the devices.
You can replace the air lters while a router is powered on and running. Before performing this task, have these items available:
• A 7/64 inch hex head screwdriver
• Replacement air lters, which you can order from Brocade
Replacing the air lters in 32-slot routers
The two air lters in 32-slot routers are located between the upper and lower card cages. To replace an air lter, perform these steps.
NOTE
Air lters for 32-slot routers are marked with a directional arrow to indicate proper alignment for the direction of airow in the
device. The upper lter should be inserted with the arrow pointing up, and the lower lter should be inserted with the arrow
pointing down.
1. From the front of the router, remove the air inlet cover by unscrewing the four captive screws with a 7/64 inch hex head
screwdriver, as shown in the following gure.
