How to Install or Remove Air Circulation Components
Step 3
Replace the lower chassis grille:
a.
Position the grille in front of the air intake slot on the lower front side of the chassis and press it
gently into place. Make sure that you align the guide pins on the lower corners of the grille with the
guide pin holes on the chassis.
b.
Use a medium flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the two captive screws (on for each side) that hold
the grille to the front of the chassis.
Removing the Chassis Air Filter
This section describes how to remove the air filter in the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis. For further
information, see the
“About Line Card Chassis Airflow” section on page 3-1
. For complete information
on regulatory compliance and safety, see
Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information
.
The chassis has a serviceable air filter that plugs into the front (PLIM) side of the chassis (see item 1 in
Figure 3-6
) just inside the air intake slot. During operation, the air filter access is hidden by the lower
chassis grille.

Caution
To remain NEBS compliant, the chassis air filter can be replaced only when the fan tray is not running.
The chassis powers down one minute after the fan tray is removed, so we recommend using two people
to replace the chassis air filter at NEBS-compliant sites. Familiarize yourself with the steps in the
“Installing a Fan Tray” section on page 3-4
and the
“Removing a Fan Tray” section on page 3-5
prior to
replacing the chassis air filter.
