Note: In order to build a quieter system we recommend NOT installing the optional fans if they are not necessary for the cooling of your components. If you choose to install them, we recommend using Antec 120mm TriCool™ fans and setting the speed to Low.
4.3WASHABLE AIR FILTERS
There are two filters located behind the front grills and one behind the grill of the side Big Boy 200™. Occasionally, it will be necessary to wash the installed air filters, as not washing them may result in higher system temperatures and possible stability problems. We recommend checking the air filter at least once a month initially. The frequency will change depending on environmental conditions and system usage, as users whose systems run 24/7 will likely have to check more often than those who do not use their systems every day.
To remove the front filters:
1.Push one of the fan grills at the right middle edge to separate the grill from the chassis. The filter will still be attached by a hinge on the opposite side of the filter. Swing the filter out so that it is perpendicular to the case.
2.Using both hands, lift the filter up and angle the base of the filter toward you until both tabs detach from the hinge. Remove the filter.
To remove the side filter:
1.Examine the external fan assembly on the panel and locate the filter tab.
2.Pull on the tab to remove the filter.
