The embedded Linux PC is located inside the electronic box, under
the N Wireless Router. Its maintenance is equivalent to a standard PC
station.
The main problem can be due to the accumulation of dust in the
internal components, so it acts as thermal insulator. The heat generated by
the components cannot be well dissipated because it is trapped in the dust
layer.
The oil and grease particles contained in the environmental air mix
with the dust, creating thus a big insulation layer that reflexes the heat to
other components. This effect causes a reduction of the system useful life.
On the other hand, the dust contain conductive particles that can generate
short-circuits throughout the circuit boards or the peripheral cards.
The best way to extend the life of the equipment and make it free of
reparations for many years is to clean it and remove the dust frequently.
