The air filter of the Switch 8800 Family is installed at the air intake vents of the 
chassis. If you do not clean the air filter often, the dust accumulated on it will 
block the holes of the filter, hence affecting the ventilation of the chassis. For this 
reason, you are recommended to clean the air filter at a proper interval.

Both methods of dry-clean and rinsing are allowed. However, take care not to rub 
the air filter when you wash it, and simply air it after that.

Step 1: Unscrew the captive screws at the top and bottom of the air filter with a 
flathead screwdriver.

Step 2: Hold the air filter at the left-rear by its upper and lower edges, pull part of 
it out of the chassis, put one hand underneath the air filter to hold it, and pull it 
out slowly along the guides.

Step 3: Rather than taking the air filter mesh out, directly wash the air filter after 
removing it from the chassis, air it, and insert it into the chassis again.

Step 1: Hold the front end of the air filter with one hand and put another hand 
underneath it, align it with the guides, and slide it into the chassis along the 
guides.

Step 2: Fix the air filter by fastening the captive screws at the top and bottom of 
the air filter with a flathead screwdriver.

The fabric, I/O modules, and Application Modules of the Switch 8800 Family are in 
similar structure and can be installed and removed almost in the same way. This 
section describes the general procedures for removing and installing these 
module.

The Switch 8800 Family modules are hot-swappable.
