Hardware Maintenance
The following maintenance tasks are recommended for the Makito X appliance.
Cleaning the Ventilation (Intake/Outtake) and Filter
To clean the intake and outtake vents, use a dry cloth or an aspiration device approved for
electronic equipment.
Maintenance should be done every 6 months (more often in a dusty environment).
Cleaning or washing the filter is applicable on specific equipment.
Monitoring of the Fan Operation
There is no system level monitoring of the fan operation; however, it is recommended that
you check to see if the fan is operating in one of two ways:
•
If the appliance is easily accessible, turn the unit over and listen (an operational fan
makes a humming noise).
•
Use the CLI (
temperature get
command) to get information from the built-in
temperature sensors (see
352). If the internal temperature of the
unit is rising, that is an indication that the fan may not be operating properly.
Replacing the MB6X Chassis Fan Tray
Some MB6X chassis models have a removable fan tray, located on the far right side of the
chassis. The fan tray may be removed from the front of the chassis. This procedure applies
to those units supporting field swappable fan trays.
NOTE
You can replace the fan tray without powering off the Makito X, which allows you to
perform this maintenance procedure without stopping the encoder service.
However, do so only if you are able to replace the fan tray within five minutes. Otherwise,
we recommend that you power off the unit before replacing a fan tray.
