To remove the chassis air filter, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
Unscrew the two captive screws that connect the air intake grille to the front (PLIM) side of the chassis.
Step 3
Set the air intake grille carefully aside.
Step 4
Grasp the air filter and carefully slide it from the slot. Set the air filter carefully aside.
Step 5
