Optional front bezel dust lter
Some models are equipped with an optional front bezel dust lter. You must periodically clean the dust lter
so that the dust collected on the lter does not impede air ow through the computer.
NOTE: The optional front bezel dust lter is available from HP.
To remove, clean, and replace the dust lter:
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for disassembly on page 17)
2. To remove the dust lter, use your ngers to separate the lter from the front bezel at the tab locations
shown below.
3. Use a soft brush or cloth to clean dust from the lter. If heavily soiled, rinse the lter clean with water.
To replace the lter, reverse the removal procedures.
