C LEANING THE CSX6000 A IR F ILTER
The CSX6000 has a removable air filter. This filter is provided to ensure system cleanliness and
stability in dusty operating environments. The filter is located just behind the chassis’ front panel.
For best performance (and as an alternative to replacement) regularly wash the filter in warm water
and a mild detergent.
Before removing the air filter for cleaning, read the following warning and caution notes.
WARNING
Before removing the air filter for cleaning, ensure that the system is powered off and the power
cord is unplugged from the power source. Note that the Power ON/OFF switch does not
disconnect the power from the system. Failure to unplug the power cord can result in serious
injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system. We recommend that you perform
this procedure only at an ESD workstation. If such a workstation is unavailable, provide some
ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling
components.
To clean the air filter:
1. Power down the system and disconnect the system’s power cord from the power source.
2. Turn the four quarter-turn screws securing the front panel to the chassis.
3. Remove the front panel to access the fan filter.
4. Remove the fan filter.
5. Once removed, clean the filter by washing it in warm water and a mild detergent. Make sure it
is completely dry before you place it back in the system.
6. Reposition the filter and the front panel.
7. Tighten the four front panel quarter-turn screws.
8. Reconnect the power cord and power up the system.
