Chassis Maintenance
Like all computer systems, you will need to perform some routine maintenance tasks. Some of these include making sure that the air vents in
the chassis are clear of obstructions and that the cooling air from the fans flows freely. You will also need to check the foam filter behind the
front panel to ensure it is clean, thus allowing for unrestricted air flow to the fans. You should always keep an eye on all cables to make sure
they are not damaged and are securely connected. Occasionally, you should remove the chassis cover and check for loose cards, and remove
any dust build-up.
CAUTION
Always remember to power down your computer and the expansion chassis BEFORE you attempt to perform any
maintenance tasks.
5.1
Chassis Cleaning
The environment where your OSS chassis is operating should be the determining factor as to how often you should perform a general cleanup
of the chassis. To perform a routine general cleaning of your chassis, you will need the following:
1.
Can of compressed air (proper distance, 6 inches)
2.
Cotton Swabs
3.
Isopropyl (alcohol)
4.
Anti-static wipes
5.
Warm water (for filter)
6.
Dish soap (for filter)
CAUTION
Do not use a vacuum because vacuums create ESD.
First, remove the four cover screws and the top chassis cover:
Next, use a can of compressed air from your local computer store to blow out any dust that may have accumulated in the chassis fans.
