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. Be sure to
install parts and cables in the original position.
Leaving dust on the server can cause failure. Be sure to remove any dust from the server.
