Air Filters

There are two filters in the P280 that can be removed and washed. One filter is the front filter and the other is the PSU intake filter. You can access the front filter by opening the front door and pushing down on the tabs at the top of the filter.

Note: From time to time it will be necessary to wash the installed air filter. Not washing the air filter will 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 system usage (users whose systems run 24/7 will likely have to check/wash more often than those who don’t use their systems every day) and on environmental conditions.

The P280 features a removable PSU filter that can be unlocked for maintenance and locked for transport. To remove the PSU filter, push the ends of the filter down then pull the filter toward you using the tab outside of the chassis. You can also lock the filter by pushing up on the tab (once the filter is completely inside the chassis).

Push down on the ends of the filter to unlock it.
