Cleaning the Server
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains that do not come off with a dry cloth, wipe with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent. Once the stain has been removed, wipe off any remaining detergent
with a cloth dampened with water. When wiping the server, make sure that no moisture enters the server
machine.
Do not use solvents. Use a mild detergent only. Otherwise, the server may be damaged.
Use a vacuum cleaner periodically to prevent dust buildup in ventilation holes.
In dusty environments, dust piles up on the front and rear panels of the server over short periods.
Install the server in a different location to avoid failures.
■
Cleaning the Server Interior
In dusty environments, dust deposits in the server. Dust deposits may cause a server failure, fire, or
electric shock. To keep the server in good condition, use a vacuum cleaner periodically to remove dust
deposits.
Cleaning components
CPUs: Dust deposits must be removed because it will impair the cooling performance.
Fans: Remove dust from and around the fans.
Memory/expansion cards: Remove dust between memory modules and between expansion cards.
Remove dust from the connector before adding a memory module or an expansion card.
Internal hard disk units/CD-ROM drive units: Remove dust deposits from units and devices. Tape
devices are particularly susceptible to dust and may cause failures. Install them in a clean
environment.
Be careful when removing components such as CPUs, memory modules, or hard disk units. Make
sure to install parts and cables in the original position.
Leaving dust on the server can cause failures. Make sure to remove any dust from the server.
■
Optional Devices
For cleaning optional devices, refer to manuals supplied with options.
• Do not disassemble the PSU when cleaning the server interior. Doing so may
cause failures or electric shock.
