3.3 Air Filter
The air filter is located at the inlet of the intake air duct (see Figure 3–2), and should be
cleaned every six months. To clean the filter, remove the filter and clean it by blowing
compressed air or vacuuming in the opposite direction of the airflow.
To install the air filter, always insert the air filter through the front panel opening and ensure
that the filter flexes properly into position over the intake air duct inlets (see Figure 3–2).
CAUTION
If the air filter is not properly seated over the intake air duct inlet, foreign
matter may be drawn into the tape drive, effecting operation and causing
damage to an installed magnetic tape and other components in the tape path.
