Step 2 Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws anticlockwise on the top of the air filter panel.
Step 3 Grip the screws on the air filter panel and pull the air filter out along the guide rails on the
subrack.
Step 4 Flap dust on the air filter off, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner; or clean the air filter with water
and dry it at a well-ventilated place.
Step 5 Push the cleaned air filter into the subrack along the guide rails on the subrack. Fit the air filter
in the original position in the subrack.
Step 6 Use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten the screws clockwise on the top of the air filter panel.
Step 7 If the air filter is faulty, handle the fault according to "Exception Handling" until the fault is
rectified.
----End
Exception Handling
If the air filter is damaged, aged, or about to be damaged, replace it with a new air filter.

It is recommended that you check the status of the battery once every year. This operation ensures
that the power supply system can automatically switch to the battery in the case that the AC
power supply is cut off. In this manner, the running of services is not affected.

l
An adjustable wrench: Used to fasten screws.
Screwdriver: Is used to unscrew the battery covering piece.
Reference Standard
l
The shell of the battery is clean and intact.
The shell of the battery is intact and free of leakage or distortion. There is no acid fume
around the terminals or the safety valve.
The joints between batteries are firm and free of corrosion.
The proper spacing between batteries should be at least 10 mm.
The terminals are not distorted or damaged. Damaged terminals will cause high contact
resistance or cause cracks in the battery shell.
The working temperature of the battery ranges from -20C to 50C.
After the mains supply is disconnected, the cabinet switches to the battery and the power
supply is normal.
Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the cleanness of the battery shell, spacing between batteries, connection between
the battery terminal and the battery, and ambient temperature meet the requirement in "Reference
Standard".
Step 2 If the batteries are faulty, handle the fault according to "Exception Handling" until the fault is
rectified.
----End
Exception Handling
l
If the shell of the battery is dirty, clean the shell immediately.
If the shell of the battery leaks or is distorted, replace the battery immediately.
If the terminal of the battery is distorted or damaged, replace the battery immediately.
If the spacing between batteries is less than 10 mm, adjust it to a proper spacing.
If the joints between batteries turn loose or are corroded, fasten or replace the joints
according to actual situations.
If the working temperature of the battery is not within the range of -20C-50C, locate the
cause that results in the over-temperature of the battery. Then, rectify the fault.
NOTE
The ambient temperature is critical to the service life of the battery. Research indicates that the service
life of the battery is reduced to half each time the temperature increases by 10C when the ambient
temperature is beyond the temperature range of the battery.
If the floating charging voltage of the battery is abnormal, it is recommended that you
replace the faulty battery.
