Replacing the Air Filter on the Cisco Nexus 7004 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 7004 Chassis
You can replace the optional air filter while the Cisco Nexus 7004 system is operational.
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 right side of the chassis, remove eight screws that hold the airfilter to the chassis.
Step 2 Remove the air filter.
Step 3 Place the new air filter over the air intake area on the right side of the chassis and align the eight screw
holes in the filter to screw holes in the chassis.
Step 4 Fasten the air filter to the chassis using eight M3 x 5 mm screws that came with the air filter.. Tighten
the screws to 5 to 7 in-lb (0.56 to 0.79 N.m).
