Both the Netra CT 810 servers and the Netra CT 410 servers have two types of air filters: a power supply unit air filter, which filters the air going into the power supply, and a main air filter, which filters the air going into the server. Both air filters are located in the power supply unit. The power supply unit air filter is located at the front of the power supply unit and the main air filter is located in a tray at the top of the power supply unit.
Both sets of air filters should be replaced every three to six months. If your server environment is especially dirty, you may have to replace them more frequently. The power supply unit air filter must be in place for safe operation. Note that you do not have to power off the power supply unit or the system when removing or installing any of the air filters.
There is a single part number for the kit that contains both the main air filter and the power supply unit air filter for the Netra CT servers. The part number for the air filter kit is X7221A.
1. Squeeze in on the tabs at the sides of the power supply unit cover and remove the cover.
FIGURE 8-10 shows the location of the power supply unit cover for the Netra CT 810 server and FIGURE 8-11 shows the location of the power supply unit cover for the Netra CT 410 server.

Refer to FIGURE 8-10 and FIGURE 8-11.
3. Slide the main air filter tray out of the power supply unit.
Refer to FIGURE 8-10 and FIGURE 8-11.
4. Remove the main air filter from the tray.
1. Insert the main air filter in the air filter tray.
Refer to FIGURE 8-10 and FIGURE 8-11.
2. Slide the air filter tray into the power supply unit.
3. Insert the power supply unit air filter into the power supply unit cover.
4. Replace the power supply unit cover on the power supply unit until it clicks into place.
The second power supply unit in a Netra CT 810 server is hot-swappable, as described in Section 1.5, FRU Categories. The remaining power supply unit in a Netra CT 810 server and the lone power supply unit in a Netra CT 410 server are cold-swappable. If you are replacing a hot-swappable power supply unit, then follow the instructions in this section; if you are replacing a cold-swappable power supply unit, then go to Section 10.5, Power Supply Unit.
Note that your Netra CT 810 server will continue to operate normally with only one power supply unit; however, you will not have complete redundancy for the power supplies until you replace the failed power supply unit.
The instructions for removing and replacing power supply unit is the same, regardless of whether they are AC or DC power supply units.
The part number for the AC power supply unit is F300-1543. The part number for the DC power supply unit is F300-1535.
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap.
Refer to Section 1.2, Attaching the Antistatic Wrist Strap.
2. Determine the state of the power supply unit that you want to remove.
You may have to get troubleshooting information from the LEDs on the power supply unit itself to determine its state. Refer to Section 4.6, Troubleshooting a Power Supply Using the Power Supply Unit LEDs for more information.
3. Verify that the power supply unit that you want to remove is hot-swappable.
Use the power supply unit (PSU) LEDs on the system status panel to locate the power supply unit that can be removed. FIGURE 8-12 shows the location of the power supply unit LEDs on the Netra CT 810 server system status panel.
In a redundant system, a power supply unit is hot-swappable and can be removed only if the amber Okay to Remove LED () on the system status panel is ON.
4. Push the purple locking mechanism up into the unlocked () position.
FIGURE 8-13 shows the location of the locking mechanism for a power supply unit in a Netra CT 810 server. The two LEDs on the power supply unit should go off. In addition, after several seconds, the amber Okay to Remove LED () on the system status panel for the remaining power supply unit in the Netra CT 810 server should go to OFF. This tells you that the remaining power supply unit is no longer hot-swappable as long as you have the first power supply unit disabled.
5. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two silver captive screws at the base of the power supply unit.
FIGURE 8-13 shows the location of the captive screws for a power supply unit on a Netra CT 810 server.

The amber LEDs () on the system status panel for both power supply units in the Netra CT 810 server should go ON. This tells you that you have two functioning, redundant power supply units in the server, and either of them is now hot-swappable.
This section describes you how to remove and replace a fan tray in both the Netra CT 810 server and the Netra CT 410 server.
If the temperature rises above 158°F (70°C), the CPU card sends out a warning that the system is overheating. If the temperature rises above 167°F (75°C), then the system shuts down automatically. Note that the temperatures above are not ambient air temperatures, but rather the CPU temperatures that are monitored by a thermistor located under the heatsink on the host CPU card.
If one fan tray fails, you must replace the failed fan tray as soon as possible. Even though the system can run on one fan tray, if the temperature rises, a single fan tray may not be able to cool the system properly.
1. Go to the front of the system and use the system status panel to determine if a fan tray has failed.
FIGURE 8-15 shows the locations of the fan tray LEDs on the Netra CT 810 server and FIGURE 8-16 shows the locations of the fan tray LEDs on the Netra CT 410 server.
A fan tray has failed if the amber Fault LED () on the system status panel is ON.
2. Make a note of which fan tray has failed.
You must remove the system status panel in order to access the fan trays, and you will not be able to determine which fan tray has failed after you've removed the system status panel.
3. Remove the system status panel from the system.
Refer to Section 8.1.1, Removing the System Status Panel for those instructions.
4. Locate the fan tray that has failed.
FIGURE 8-17 shows the locations of the fan trays in a Netra CT 810 server and FIGURE 8-18 shows the locations of the fan trays in a Netra CT 410 server.
