Install the Air Filter

Installing the air filter is a hot-plug operation. You do not need to power off the server before installing the air filter.

1. Consider your first steps:
   • If you are replacing an air filter, remove the faulty air filter first, then return to Step 2 of this procedure.
   • If you are installing the filter tray as part of another component’s removal or installation procedure, go to Step 4.
2. Remove the replacement air filter from its packaging.
3. Feed the edges of the air filter under the restraining hooks of the filter tray.

   See (Installing the Air Filter).

4. Massage the filter in the filter tray so that there are no folds or wrinkles, and so that the air filter lies flat against the filter tray.
5. Install the filter tray to the server, with the indicators in the upper left corner.

   The bezel snaps into place.

6. Close the bezel.
