Procedure 6-15: Replace fan filter
Required equipment
The following equipment is required:
Important!
In central office applications, the fan unit must equipped with a fan filter. To keep the fan unit operating properly, it is recommended that users routinely change the fan filter every 6 to 9 months.
In outside plant (OSP) applications, remove the fan filter. Operating Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend in an OSP without the fan filter improves air flow and therefore enhances cooling performance and extends the life of the equipment.
Before you begin
Prior to performing this procedure, refer to Electrostatic discharge in Chapter 1, Safety.
