Chapter 3 Periodic Maintenance 3-3
Note – One concern about cleaning the air filters while power to the server is on is that
dislodged dust may be sucked inside the system when the air filters are pulled out. Therefore,
gently and slowly pull them out. Complete the cleaning as quickly as possible.
Caution – When using a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filters, use it outside the computer
room. Using a vacuum cleaner inside the computer room might result in a server failure.
Because the structure and the mounting environment of air filters are the same, the
descriptions in the figures covering filter cleaning refer to, as an example, the air filters at the
front of each model.
Cleaning an Air Filter (M8000 Server)
1. Unlock and open the front and rear doors of the server. (See Chapter 5)
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screw securing the fixing bracket of an air
filter, and turn the bracket so that it faces downward.
