Replace the Air Filter

The air filter is located inside the right fan tray (PA-7050-FANTRAY-R-A). You do not have to remove the right fan tray to 
replace the filter. Replace the air filter every six months depending on the environment where the firewall is located. 

The firewall does not generate a system log indicating that the air filter has been removed or that it needs to be 
replaced, so you must periodically inspect the filter. Do not attempt to clean and reuse the air filter. 

1.  Prepare for the removal of the installed air filter by turning the two air filter screws counter-clockwise until loose.

2.  Grip the air filter and gently pull it out to remove the filter as shown in Figure 5.

3.  Slide the new air filter into the chassis, ensuring that the filter is aligned with the slide rails and that it is facing the 

correct position. The grid side of the air filter faces the center of the chassis, as shown in Figure 6.  

4.  Turn the air filter screws clockwise until tight.
