5.1 Cleaning
To prevent trouble from occurring, clean the server regularly.
This server should be cleaned as follows.
5.1.1 Cleaning the Chassis
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, be sure that no moisture enters the Chassis.
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 Chassis over short periods.
Install the Chassis in a different location to avoid failures.
5.1.2 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 PRIMERGY server in good condition, use a vacuum cleaner periodically to
remove dust deposits.

• Before cleaning, turn off the Chassis and unplug the power cables from the outlets. Also power
off peripherals and remove them from this product (
