b.Align the pivot blocks on the front cover with the hinges on the right side of the chassis and install the hinge pins to hold the cover in place (see Figure 5-2).

Removing and Replacing the Air Filter

The Cisco XR 12404 router is equipped with a user-serviceable air filter that removes dust drawn into the router by the fan assembly tray. You should examine the air filter once a month (or more often in dusty environments). If the filter appears dirty, you can either vacuum or replace it. If the filter appears worn or torn, dispose of it in a responsible manner and install a replacement air filter.

Caution A damaged air filter can restrict the airflow, cause an overtemperature condition in the router and degrade EMI performance.
