Install the Filter

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

1. Consider your first step.

   • If you are replacing the filter, remove the faulty or obsolete filter first, then return to this procedure, Step 2. See Remove the Filter.

   • If you are installing the filter as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, go to Step 2.

2. Set the bottom edge of the filter into the lip at the front of the chassis.
   

   The left and right release levers are facing forward.

3. Pivot the filter to vertical.

   The release levers snap the filter into place.

4. Consider your next step.

   • If you installed the filter as part of a replacement operation, you are finished.

   • If you installed the filter as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure. See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.
