Maintenance and Prevention
Kontron America systems only require minimal maintenance and care to keep them operating correctly.
The harshness of the installation environment should be considered when determining the maintenance
schedule. If the system will be subjected to frequent particulate matter, such as heavy dust, then
maintenance should be more frequent.
»
Routinely wipe the system with a soft dry cloth.
»
Remove persistent dirt by use of a soft, slightly damp cloth (only use a mild detergent).
»
Clean the chassis filter and drive bay filters regularly.
10.1.
Cleaning the Chassis Filter
Cleaning frequency depends on the operating environment. If the chassis filter is too dirty, the 2U Rugged
Server can overheat or at least warm up excessively. Therefore we recommend to clean the chassis filter
as often as possible depending on the degree of pollution. The chassis filter which is accessible via the
front access panel can be changed even if the system is powered up.
