Regular Maintenance with Authorized Air FiltersPrevents Costly Equipment Failure and Downtime
Telecom / Networking Equipment• Overheating is the #1 cause of equipment failure
– Disrupting air flow from fan trays will bring down equipment
• OEM maintenance manuals recommend air filter replacement every 3-6months– Assures optimal air flow & performance while reducing energy costs
• Lack of maintenance will negatively impact equipment performance– Blocked air flow will increase temperatures within enclosures and lead to
reduced operating performance
– Equipment will overheat and potentially catch fire
– Life span of equipment can be reduced by over 50%
• Do NOT use unauthorized air filters (i.e. not approved by the OEM)– May void equipment warranty
– Will negatively impact equipment performance
19
UAF can provide OEM-authorized air filters direct to the data center
Maintenance = Cost Savings
• Practice good filter hygiene
– Replace / maintain air filters 2-4x per year
– Associated energy cost savings will more than offset cost of filter
• Increase life cycle of equipment
– Longer life, better up-time, with proactive maintenance
• Filters should be changed quarterly for optimal results.Reactionary maintenance is too costly.
– Reduce down-time and off-hour service calls
• Take advantage of quantity discounts by consolidating orders
– Consider blanket orders with scheduled releases
• Go direct to UAF for fast, easy service while saving money
