Installing the MX2010 Air Baffle

To install the upper air baffle—MX2000-UPR-BAFFLE-A:

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
  2. Close the upper fan tray access door.
  3. Align the holes on the air baffle with the holes located on either side of the upper fan tray access door, (see Figure 2).
  4. Tighten the four captive screws to secure the air baffle to the upper fan tray access door. Use #2 Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten. Do not apply more than 8.0 lb-in (0.90 Nm) of torque to the captive screws.
  5. An air baffle can have fixed or adjustable louvers. Fixed louvers are set at an angle of 10-degrees. You must set adjustable louvers at a 10-degree upward tilt/angle to direct the exhaust air away from the router, (see Figure 3).
