The NE 5000 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.
Remove the system’s top cover.
3.
Remove the two retaining screws holding the air filter in place.
4.
Tilt the filter toward the rear of the chassis and lift the filter up and out of its position.
5.
Once removed, you can 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.
