Procedure 6-15: Replace fan filter

- Overview

Use this procedure to replace a fan filter.

- Required equipment

The following equipment is required:

  • Wrist Strap

  • Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend fan filter Comcode: 408 691 111

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.
