The fans of AutoBox have a dust filter. You have to check the dust
filter for dirt at least once a year. More frequent checks may be
necessary depending on the operating conditions. If the dust filter is
dirty, you must replace it.
N O T I C E
A dirty dust filter blocks the input air stream and increases
the temperature in the box, which may shorten the life of
the hardware components.
dSPACE provides a pack of three replacement dust filters (order
number: FILTER_PAD_ABX). For the Tandem-AutoBox two dust filters
are required. For instructions, refer to How to Check and Replace the
Dust Filter of an Expansion Box on page 50.

AutoBox Dimension Drawings
For mounting you should add approx. 0.1 m (3.9 in.) space
to the outer dimensions of the AutoBox. This is to allow
the AutoBox to vibrate under extreme conditions without
bumping against other devices.
