Maintenance
Cleaning the Air Filter
Occasionally, the air filter has to be cleaned in order to maintain proper ventilation. The air
filter is located in the front cover of the Kaleido-X16 frame. The filter may be cleaned
without removing it from the cover.
Note: The two RS-422 ports on the Kaleido-X16 side have no ground pin.
Using the appropriate DE-9S-to-RJ-45 adapter, an external device should be
able to communicate with a Kaleido-X16 despite the lack of a ground.
