5-4 Maintenance
Cleaning the Interior
One of the most important items in a good maintenance program is regular and thorough
cleaning of the interior of the server, especially around the system board.
Dust buildup inside the server can lead to several problems. As dust acts as a thermal insulator, a
buildup can prevent proper system cooling. Excessive heat will shorten the life of server
components. Also, dust may contain conductive or corrosive materials that can cause short
circuits or corrosion of electrical contacts.
How often you should clean the interior of the server depends on the environment in which it is
located. For most office environments, you probably should clean the server every 12 months.
For more severe environments, clean the interior every 6 months.
Cleaning the interior of the server entails powering off the server and removing the left side
cover. You will need a small vacuum cleaner (with plastic tipped nozzle and electrostatic
protection), computer grade canned air, and a small brush for cleaning the interior.
Follow the procedure below to clean the interior of the server.
WARNING
Unplug all power cords.
Unplug all power cords before performing any maintenance. Voltage is present
inside the server and display unit even after the power is turned off. All voltage
is removed only when the power cord is unplugged.
1.

2.
Remove the top cover. (See Chapter 7.)
3.
Use a small brush to loosen any dust and debris on the system board.
4.

5.
Use a small vacuum cleaner with plastic tip to vacuum out dust and debris from the
interior of the server.
