Maintenance
This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on
the NI PXIe-1075 chassis.
Caution
Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing a NI PXIe-1075 chassis.
Service Interval
Clean the chassis fan filters at a maximum interval of six months.
Depending on the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the operating
environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.
Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the
operating environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability and cooling
performance.
Preparation
The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service
personnel. Read the
Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency
Interference
document included with your kit before attempting any
procedures in this chapter.
Caution
Many components within the chassis are susceptible to static discharge damage.
Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe standard handling
precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis. Always wear a
grounded wrist strap or equivalent while servicing the chassis.
Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis
and cleaning the fan filters. Refer to your module user documentation for
information on cleaning the individual CompactPCI or PXI Express
modules.
