Chapter 9 Replacement Procedures
Replacing the Air Filter on the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
Tip
Whenever you need to open the door, pull one of the latch handles open until it clicks and then swing
that side of the door open.
Note
If the double-hinged door and its holders are not level, it is possible that you will have some difficulty
opening or closing the door on one or both sides without the door being defective. Either push in the
bottom portion of the door or slightly lift up the door on that side just before closing. If the problem
persists, open the door from the other side, which should be free of this problem, or adjust the cable
management system and hinge bracket so that they are level.
Replacing the Air Filter on the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
You can replace the optional air filter while the Cisco Nexus 7010 system is operational.
Note
Only the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis includes an optional air filter.
Note
We recommend that you check the air filter once a month. If it is covered with a significant amount of
dust, replace the air filter.
To replace the air filter, follow these steps:
Step 1
On the left and right side of the existing air filter, loosen the two captive screws so they are no longer
attached to the chassis. The air filter can be found covering the air intake area at the bottom of the front
side of the chassis (see
).
Step 2
With one hand holding the air filter in place, use the other hand to pull out the spring pin on one side of
the air filter. Pull that side of the air filter away from the chassis and release the spring pin when it is
clear of the bracket on the EMI frame.
Step 3
Switch the hands holding the air filter and use the other hand to pull out the spring pin on the other side
of the air filter. Pull the air filter away from the chassis and release the spring pin.
Step 4
Align the replacement air filter to the EMI frame covering the air intake area.
Step 5
Use one hand on the air filter to hold it in place while you use the other hand to pull out the spring pin
on one side of the air filter. Adjust the air filter so that the spring pin will be released into its hole in the
EMI frame bracket.
Step 6
Switch the hands holding the air filter and use the other hand to pull out the other spring pin on the other
side of the air filter. With the spring pin pulled out, position the air filter so that the pin will be released
into its hole on the EMI frame bracket. Release the spring pin and make sure that it holds the air filter
on to the EMI frame.
Step 7
Screw in and tighten both captive screws, one on each side of the air filter.
